You used a gpu and you call my hydrocarbons overcomplicated?

I wasn't really playing the ctf. I was looking for ways to give @ek headaches.

Btw, this was a great example of why some say the CTF scene is dead

Not that I was ever part of that scene, but competitive, remote formats are probably dead. And I don't know if there are any in-person, offline competitions that are held, like for students.

I think there is still room for it as a single-player experience. Like logic based video games where you can just look up solutions online, but people don't because it would spoil the fun

I can see that.

I've been operating on the defense side of the fence since the early 90s and that scene, profession (and all hope) is dead too. That said it IS great to just log everything and stream gigabytes of logs through a properly trained LLM - I really want to train functiongemma on ssh logs to see if fail2ban misses something.
