ZeroNights 2014 - hackquest

ZeroNights is a conference on practical information security, which we hold this year for the fourth time! We have repeatedly told about it, and many habrakhabrovtsy took part in it.

And we have a tradition - to conduct a hakquest before the conference itself, offering participants various tasks (breaking the web, reversing, analyzing, writing an exploit for binaries - in general practice). For the victory, we give an invitation to the conference and since last year we have been contributing to the “hall of fame” . The rules are as follows:
')

• The quest lasts 7 days, starts on October 1 at 20:00 and ends on October 8 at 20:00 (Moscow time);
• Every day - one task. The duration of each task is 24 hours;
• Total tasks - 7;
• Who is the first to solve a task gets an invite (total invites: 7);
• In some situations, we can ask the participant to tell how the task was decided (do not try to deceive us, we are for fair and equal competition!)

This year there may be an exception about the duration of the tasks, as some of them are voluminous and complex and there is a possibility that they will not be solved in a day (we will probably renew and give time to complete them by launching a new task according to the plan).

Tasks by type were distributed in the following order: 1 - Alighieri (reverse), 2 - Chip-in-the-middle (misc), 3 - InfectedTerminal (reverse), 4 - Yolochka (pentest), 5 - M-Nature (reverse) , 6 - Kyrai (web, networking), 7 - private bank haxing (misc).

I would like to note that it’s rather not just a task-based CTF, but a hakquest, some of the tasks include solving a really large chain of tasks.
