Welcome to an opportunity to test your hacking skills in breaking client-side encryption that protects a closely guarded secret hidden somewhere on this site. We've created this as a gesture of appreciation for the privacy and security community and our dedicated Podcast listeners, so there will be a small prize for the 3 randomly selected people that manage to capture the flag!
Quick Start
