To give our visitors a small sample of “The Hex Factor“, we are doing a little contest. Here is a file from the reverse engineering track. There is a hidden message within the file. The first person that posts the message in the comment of this post, gets a 10% ticket discount1 and some BruCON and “PDF – Penetration Document Format” + “How is my Hacking(.com)” stickers donated by Didier Stevens.
UPDATE: Comment settings were a bit strict because of initial blog spam. We changed settings but comments still will be moderated. It seems the challenge was easy but it wasn’t our purpose to make it hard (this time). Kasperle from Aachen, please contact us at info attsign brucon.org for your contact details and we will ship you your prize. We will post the solution of the challenge in a few days. Feel free to give it a try on how to find the answer.
