In January/February, I had plenty of novel ideas around AI and CTFs.
I decided to wait and blog post after Ph0wn. Then, I decided to postpone again and blog post after our presentation at THCon with @virtualabs
I shouldn't have postponed. Now, there are many blog posts on this topic. We still have a few novelties to show ;P
but yes, the idea is that, with AI, when you've got an idea, you talk about it immediately. Or regret for ever :D

Are you stuck on one of the first 2 challenges of #FrangiPh0wn? As the teaser ends in 2 days, we've released a few hints, and hope they will help you reach the next level ;)
Retrogamers, the 4th (and final) challenge of FrangiPh0wn is about retrogaming.
I've tested it, and I can tell you it's really an interesting one.
You just need to solve the 3 other before, but they are much easier. No problem, you can do it!
Can you grab a slice of FrangiPh0wn?
The first 2 challenges are meant to be easy. The 3rd is a little more challenging, and the 4th is daunting.
But surely there are elite hackers out there?
