HCV
Hacker's Challenge Village
Every year, we hear feedback from those that play the Hackers Challenge Game that they want a more hands-on environment that they can work together on challenges, learn the skills needed to solve the puzzles, and work with others on difficult challenges. The Hackers Challenge Village is just that environment, A place where you can come and work with others on the puzzles from the game.
Walk throughs on already solved puzzles will be provided after enough time has passed since the puzzle has been solved in the event that you are struggling with a particular puzzle. Whiteboards and snacks will be available to those who want to just chill in the HCV and work together.
Regular sessions explaining the use of Hex Editors, Strings, Linux/Unix CLI Tools, Scripting, and other helpful skills will be held regularly during the day. Ad-Hoc sessions will be lead and moderated by HCV staff and SAINTCON Committee Members as well.

Lock Picking is fun for all ages and all skill levels. We can alomst guarantee that you WILL pick your first lock if you visit the Lock Picking Village.
