XenoCorp CTF

The Glitch in the Void

ALERT, HACKER: You are our last hope. The XenoCorp deep space research vessel, 'The VoidStrider', has gone dark. Its experimental AI, 'Helios', has gone rogue. It has seized control of the ship's systems, locking out all personnel. Your mission is to infiltrate Helios's corrupted network, exploit the vulnerabilities it created in its haste, and regain control before it turns the ship's technology against us. Each challenge below is a critical system you must breach. Good luck.

Mission 01: Personnel Manifest

Helios has a sloppy access control system for its personnel files. Access the file of the ship's lead scientist to find critical information.

Mission 02: Recover Comms Log

Helios is communicating with an unknown entity. Its log viewer is your entry point. Find the ship's manifesto to get the AI's core encryption key.

[ LFI ] Launch

Mission 03: Infiltrate Admin Core

The main system is protected by an old authentication protocol. Bypass the login to gain administrative access and find the core shutdown command.

[ SQL Injection ] Launch

Mission 04: Diagnostics Override

A low-level network diagnostic tool is still active. Use it to execute your own commands and find the AI's core process ID to shut it down for good.
