The SydB☮x CTF Challenge is a timed competition where participants SSH into a server to read a restricted file, /etc/CTF, within 15 minutes. Basic SSH and Unix/Linux command line knowledge is required. After connecting to syd.chesswob.org with provided credentials (user/pass: syd), players explore the server, overcome permission challenges using available Unix tools, and devise creative solutions to access the file. Successful participants document their method and email their findings to claim a 100€ reward. This challenge tests and enhances cybersecurity skills in a legal, controlled environment.

There's a reward of 100€ if you manage to read the file /etc/CTF on the server and document how you did it by posting a mail to [email protected].
