New Challenge Unveiled: Incident Response
Attention all cyber sleuths and digital detectives! We are thrilled to launch an electrifying new challenge that's set to test your hacking prowess and forensic skills to the max. Dubbed The Corrupted Filesystem Mystery, this challenge is not your typical CTF. It's a thrilling adventure into the depths of a computer's heart, where danger and mystery lurk in every byte. So, grab your digital detective hats, and let's dive into the details of this exhilarating quest.
The Scene of the Crime: A Linux Container with a Twist
Imagine stepping into the shoes of a detective. But here's the twist – your crime scene is not an eerie, abandoned mansion but a Linux container. And this is no ordinary container; it's been compromised with a corrupted filesystem. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to unravel the digital enigma behind what caused the corruption. It's a treasure hunt where, instead of gold, you're in pursuit of elusive clues hidden in the recesses of the system.
The Culprits: Rootkits and Reverse Shells
The challenge is laden with potential adversaries. You might encounter a sneaky rootkit, silently infecting files and covering its tracks with cunning precision. Your task is to hunt down its lair and determine which files have fallen victim to its clutches. Or, you might stumble upon a reverse shell, a secret corridor used by hackers to infiltrate and exit the system undetected. If so, it's up to you to uncover which service left the door ajar or which IP address orchestrates the operation from the shadows.
How It Works: Your Forensic Toolkit
Upon accepting the challenge, you'll be spawned into a Linux container marred by filesystem corruption. Your playground is a carefully crafted digital labyrinth, designed to mimic real-world scenarios that cyber security professionals face daily. Armed with your analytical skills, you'll need to sift through the digital debris to piece together the puzzle.
Each participant will face a series of questions, starting with seemingly simple tasks that gradually escalate in complexity. For example, one of the initial challenges might be to identify the file responsible for initiating a reverse shell. Sounds straightforward? Think again. Every step of this journey requires keen observation, technical acumen, and a hacker's intuition.
