CTF Highlights
The Helix Files Website
The mysterious website that started the investigation
ALERT: Helix University has been hacked!
The attacker sent this link to everyone in the school: https://thehelixfiles.org — there they have posted evidence of the hack, some photos, and even files!
We need your help to figure out:
- What the attacker's motives are
- What methods they used to break in
- Where our security is failing
- What the attacker was able to access or find out
- And most importantly: Who the attacker is!
This fictional scenario was the premise for the Digital Fallout CTF competition.
