📜 The Narrative

You have stumbled upon a legacy terminal used by "The Obsidian Group", a shadow organization dismantled in the late 90s. Rumor has it their core database contains proof of extraterrestrial contact. The system is partially corrupted and locked down.

Your Mission: Bypass the security layers, recover the fragmented credentials, and access the "Core Truth".

🎮 How to Play

This is a Capture The Flag (CTF) style website. Each level requires you to use real-world web debugging and hacking techniques to find the "Flag".

1. Level 0: Entry - Inspect the HTML source.
2. Level 1: Clearance - Check the Browser Console.
3. Level 2: Authentication - Investigate Cookies and Local Storage.
4. Level 3: Interception - Analyze Network Headers.
5. Level 4: Decryption - Crack the Code (Cryptography).
6. Level 5: The Ghost - Find hidden files (robots.txt).
7. Level 6: Spectrum - Analyze assets (Steganography).

Stuff to do(help me please 😢)

• Bring back the shake animation on wrong answers
• Add music
• Add a robot dialogue for the intro and outro
• Add more levels and esp one on steganography,SQL injection, SSRF, more cryptography
• Deploy properly with custom domain instead of netlfiy
• Add some audio and video stuff
• Intro level is a bit hard and not obvious compared to the rest
• Can be deobfuscated easily so make it harder
