VPN Connection
In order to enhance platform security and improve your overall player experience, we are migrating our challenges from public access to a private VPN environment. This architecture better simulates real-world engagement scenarios. While public IPs remain active during this beta phase, we strongly recommend setting up your VPN access now to ensure uninterrupted access in the future.

Welcome, Analyst.

This morning, our automated security baseline monitor triggered a critical alert. A single, high-value file on our core algorithmic trading server, "Quasar-Prod," was modified. The file, quasar-trading.py, contains the source code for our company's most profitable high-frequency trading algorithm.

There are no signs of a direct external attack. No firewall alerts, no brute-force attempts.

Your mission is to analyze the logs. Find how the attacker got in, and how they exfiltrated any data out

 

You will find 3 flags in your journey (flags will be in the format FLAG{}), submit them in this format: FLAG{example1}+FLAG{example2}+FLAG{example3}
