Daily live capture the flag
A vulnerable system. A handful of clues. One day to break in.
The Range is a live security challenge played entirely from the command line. Investigate an isolated Linux target, find what should not be exposed, and capture the flags before the event closes.
Free to watch. An account is required to compete. Best played with a full keyboard.
