Oh nice, this years #SANS #HolidayHack challenge is live.
I can once again take the opportunity to practice fluidly transition between the boolean states of InfoSec Peeps, SicSkillz and N00b 5cr!ptK!dd!3.
#HolidayHack #CTF #KringleCon is launching any day now!!! @SANSInstituteOfficial @counterhacksec has been kicking it off in early November, so grab my cheatsheet on how to get started, and let's gooooo! https://bit.ly/HolidayHack2025
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
Loved 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.
Achievement Unlocked!!! #HolidayHack

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!):
The PowerShell terminal is one of the most difficult challenges so far in #HolidayHack. Lots of interacting with a webserver and parsing data.
With the opening of Act 3, my video solution is now up on YouTube:
With the start of #HolidayHack Act 2, three YouTube Videos from Act 1 are now live!
I'll walk through the cURLing challenge, brute force a pin on the Frosty Keypad, and show a neat Easter egg in the Shreds image metadata.

Itās that time of the year š Let the hacking begin! #HolidayHack
In the Elf Connect challenge from #holidayhack 2024, I'll hack a Elf game based on the NYT connections game. I'll show some basics for browser dev tools, and a couple ways to cheat the game.
Lunch with some of my favourite hackers, a game of Lazer tag, now pizza + Hackers + SANS #HolidayHack, and tomorrow 0xcon JHB
Being away from home sucks, but could be worse :D

I had so much with playing the
SANS #HolidayHack challenge this year. A lot of AI focus. I still can't believe how easy it is to make a fake voice clip (which is one of the challenges). Also some good examples of ChatGPT just being wrong!
Bawls and cold pizza to start the day. I am pretending to be half my age yes. It also fuels the hack.
Time to tackle the SANS Holiday Hack Challenge with my buddy!
