Let's start off by talking to Jingle Ringford:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
Welcome to the Geese Islands and the 2023 SANS Holiday Hack Challenge!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'm Jingle Ringford, one of Santa's many elves.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Just kidding! It's actually the 2024 SANS Holiday Hack Challenge!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And although we're on Frosty's Beach on Christmas Island, we'll soon be on our way back to the North Pole.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I thought it best to wait here for people that heard we're on the Geese Islands but may not know we're leaving.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I haven't seen Santa since we started packing up, but he always asks me to give a quick orientation to newcomers, so I'm continuing the tradition.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Before you head out any further onto the island, you need to accomplish two simple tasks.
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Solving
|

|
|
|

|
|
Okay, I doubt we'll need a long writeup here, the HHC starts off easy.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Next the elf there is a "First Terminal", let's open it. At the top we can see a simple instruction; "Enter the answer here".

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Let's follow the instruction and enter the text in the top console. And that's it! We got the gold medal!
