Description
Welcome to the 2020 DEF CON CTF quals! Let's start it out with an (almost-)free flag in the file below :)
As always an easy intro to start things off -- both to check that proof-of-work solving is working correctly and for players to know that they can reach the scoreboard correcly.
Secretly, there's a real service behind this item: an ssh-enabled container that we use for testing "in production" -- we just don't give anybody the IP, and you wouldn't have the private key anyway :)
