Incident Response Field Guide

Factorial Farm has been hacked! They have hired you and your team to investigate what's going on and stop it as soon as possible. Can you use what little you're provided with to make sense of things?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ready to put on your detective hat and save the day?

Then you've come to the right place! Today you'll get to use what you're given to solve challenges and stop the threat(s)!

What you'll need:

  • A little bit of curiousity
  • The ability to persist
  • The skills to overcome adversity
  • One single gummy bear (we're kidding about this one, of course)
  • The ability to find at least one flag{somethinglikethis}
  • Teamwork and collaboration

Let's get to investigating!

  1. Look at the home page to help you find clues.
  2. Click on the "Challenges" tab to enter in flags that you find.
  3. Remember that all flags will be in the format flag{______} where '_____' is always going to be different.
  4. Ask questions if you have them. A GM (GameMaker) is here to help provide guidance.
  5. Solve challenges to earn CattleCoins. Earn the most CattleCoins and Factorial Farm may just hire you again in the future.
  6. Challenges are broken up into general categories... these are explained further in the skillz tab.

Bonus Challenge:

  • Figure out which of Factorial Farm's competitors defaced the website.
  • Take notes and follow the story line.

Remember, you've got nothing to lose and all the CattleCoins to gain!
