At AetherCore Inc., a series of seemingly routine digital activities has begun to reveal a hidden narrative of subterfuge and advanced cyber manipulation. Unusual audit logs, encrypted email trails, covert scripting embedded in project documentation, and anomalies in network traffic hint at a secret power struggle.
Two operatives—known only by their clandestine codenames—have been orchestrating these events from within the company. Their advanced skills range from log evasion and remote access exploits to reverse engineering and kernel-level manipulations.
You will gather vital clues that map directly to suspect profiles as you navigate a series of realistic challenges—including manipulated system logs, covert network breaches, and cryptographic puzzles. Uncover the signature tactics of "The Master" and "The Shadow" to reveal the mastermind orchestrating a series of sophisticated internal breaches.
Prepare for a deep dive into advanced cybersecurity techniques where every flag you capture brings you one step closer to exposing the conspirators lurking within AetherCore Inc.
