Alright #HolidayHack #CTF fans, are you ready?! It's launching soon, and I was able to spend a day with the CounterHack elves as they put their final touches on this year's game! To celebrate I am releasing my CheatSheet earlier than ever: https://bit.ly/HolidayHack2025
0xdfLoved the new #HolidayHack format this year, releasing challenges in 4 acts! I'll hack web and JS, curl and PowerShell, hardware and mobile apps. There are two SOC / SIEM like challenges, and ransomware decryption.
2024 SANS Holiday Hack Challenge: Snow-maggedon
The 2024 SANS Holiday Hack Challenge: Snow-maggedon takes place over a prologue and three acts. In the prologue, we find the elves have packed up from the Geese Islands to head back to the North Pole. In Act I, we’re at the North pole, but Santa is missing, and the elves are starting to divide. In Act II, the elves are nearing all out war, which has broken out in Act III, including ransomwaring the Naughty/Nice list. Throughout these acts, I’ll solve technical and hacking challenges to save Christmas! There is web and JavaScript hacking, curl and PowerShell labs, hardware hacking, mobile application analysis and RE, multiple SOC / SIEM challenges, and ransomware decryption and disabling.

The Chrome Local Overrides feature is very cool. Use local files to mock out HTTP requests in the dev tools.
What better place to play with this than the #HolidayHack Snowball Showdown challenge in Act 2. Watch it now (Act 3 is live!):
