SOFWERX / OPERATOR BRIEFING / CLEARANCE GRANTED

MISSIONBRIEF

Operator — a hostile crew called Gh0stJ4ck3l has been stealing operational intelligence and quietly rewriting the communications our people rely on. Command wants them shut down. Your job is to get inside, work through their network node by node, and seize the archive at the heart of it — and walk out with our intel recovered and their comms clean.

6 nodes · single point of entry
Rules of engagement
  1. Chain the network. Each node hides a credential. Recover it, submit it, and the next node opens. There's no skipping ahead.
  2. Use your tools. Real analysts lean on decoders and search engines — doing the same here is the point, not cheating. Your field kit is CyberChef , a browser-based decoder that handles every trick in this op. Keep it open in another tab.
  3. Answers are forgiving. Capitalization, spaces, and punctuation are ignored on the decode nodes — but the very first credential is case-sensitive, so read carefully.
  4. Stuck? Pull a hint. Every node has three, released one at a time on a short timer: a rumor first, then a nudge, then a full walkthrough. Burning a hint costs you nothing but time.
  5. Progress saves itself. Close the tab and come back — you'll pick up where you left off. Breach all 6 nodes to take Gh0stJ4ck3l down and end the op.
BEGIN INFILTRATION

Reset wipes your unlocked nodes and clears every hint timer — a clean slate for the next operator on this machine.
