If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?

Albert Einstein
These challenges will create the foundational frame for the main picture on this adventure. Forensics is a branch of digital forensic science pertaining to evidence found in computers and digital storage media. The goal of
computer forensics is to examine digital media in a forensically sound manner with the aim of identifying, preserving, recovering, analyzing, and presenting facts and opinions about the relevant digital information.

It doesn’t matter how many times I have to click, as long as each click is a mindless, unambiguous choice.

Steve Krug
This section is all about getting the to the core. After you collect your information about the attackers, it is time for a payback. Challenges that can be used to learn about a variety of computer security issues such as
privilege escalation, vulnerability analysis, exploit development, debugging, reverse engineering, and general cyber security issues will be waiting for you under this category.

Never fall in love with an idea. They’re w*****. If the one you’re with isn’t doing the job, there’s always another.

Chip Kidd
Schrodinger's theory reads; if the door never opens, your reality may or may not alter into the form of a huge inconvenience for your team. Meanwhile the question of “if you can not see them, can you stop them” is also still very relevant. Certainly not my friends.
Then get ready for some cracking exercises. Cryptography is about constructing and analyzing various protocols which prevent the exposure of secrets to a third set of eyes. BTW, please do never forget that perceptive skills can sometimes take you even further.

All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual.

Albert Einstein
Bring all your rapid and dirty solutions with you. Analyze the problem, pick your language, the weapon of your choice and start coding like never before. Utilize your ol' machine's
clock power and destroy all the obstacles one by one. Programming involves activities such as analysis, developing understanding, and generating algorithms in a target programming language

Photography is the simplest thing in the world, but it is incredibly complicated to make it really work.

Martin Parr
Donec vel ultricies purus. Nam dictum sem, ipsum aliquam . Etiam sit amet fringilla lacus. Pellentesque suscipit ante at ullamcorper pulvinar neque porttitor. Integer lectus. Praesent sed nisi eleifend, fermentum orci amet, iaculis libero.
Maecenas volutpat, diam enim sagittis quam, id porta quam. Sed id dolor consectetur fermentum volutpat nibh, accumsan purus. Lorem ipsum dolor sit semper amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. In maximus ligula metus pellentesque mattis.
