💀 Root Me - 20k

The Root Me - 20k event is a cybersecurity challenge organized by Root Me to celebrate 20,000 members on the official Discord server..

And I had the great privilege of being a Challenge Maker, meaning I got to create a challenge for this event !

🩸 Some rules ?!

The challenges weren't supposed to be too hard and had to be solvable within a few hours. So I decided to create system-oriented challenges, in the form of jails. (Yeah, I know this category is often criticized on Root Me... but oh well 😄)

Here are the challenges I created:

Statut 🧮	Challenge 🧩	Points 🌟	Submissions 📝	Difficulty 🎯
✅	Love Me	500	2	Easy
✅	Not This Way	495	7	Hard
✅	Never Trust Node One	499	4	Medium

(Yeah, the easy one got the fewest solves... not my fault if you're bad at Bash 😈)

IMPORTANT 📌

The write-ups you’re about to read are detailed walkthroughs that I personally wrote. I explain my thought process, my techniques, and also share the sources I used to solve these challenges.

Now grab your popcorn 🍿 and make yourself comfortable... Because we’re diving right into the core of the topic 😃
