Wooly-Vault

A few small challenges for ⚒️ Rust Hackers 🦀

Configuration

Each challenge requires some basic information to host:

• secret - a string that if found signifies that the challenge was solved

• addr - the network adress plus port the challenge should run on

• verbosity - how verbose the logging should be

• challenge - which challenge to host (there are a few)

The secret cannot be inputted with a command line argument, because the arguments can often be seen in the process view. You may either specify a secret in the 'WOOLY_SECRET' environment variable or input it interactively on start.

Challenges

There are a number of challenges:

1. Connect by TCP

2. Connect by TCP and send a special u16

3. Connect by TCP, get sent dynamic math questions, solve them fast enough

Solution

Solutions for some challenges can be found in [./solutions/]. Don't spoil the challenge for yourself.
