no-way-out

A redesigned text adventure CTF challenge

Introduction

No Way Out started as a hackathon project intended to reproduce A Text Adventure 1 and A Text Adventure 2 lighting challenges at GeekSeek CTF 2020 from which No Way Out inherited the same hacking techniques of the 2 flags but with an improved game design and a solution writeup.

How to deploy the game

Server

This game can be deployed locally or on a remote server in Linux environment:

git clone https://github.com/medifle/no-way-out.git
cd no-way-out
python3 server.py

Client / Player / Hacker

nc YOUR_SERVER_IP_OR_HOSTNAME PORT

• where YOUR_SERVER_IP_OR_HOSTNAME can be localhost or your remote server ip/hostname
• where PORT is 7000 by default specified in server.py

Before you start deploying, make sure this port does not conflict with other applications in your environment. You can change the port number easily by editing PORT = 7000 in server.py. If you deploy it on a remote server, don't forget to check if the ports you use are accessible to your client.

Solution

TBD
