Hello Google Cloud Security team,
I'm participating in Operation Cymbal: Cold Room, organized through Hack The Box, and I have a few questions regarding the event.
The challenge started around 16:00 today, and it's now approximately 21:00. I've already completed several challenges, but I've noticed that my score continues to decrease. Additionally, the scoreboard is currently inaccessible, and I understand that the event is expected to run for approximately 72 hours.
Could you please clarify a few points?
-
Daily challenges: Will three new challenges be released each day throughout the 72-hour event, or are the challenges announced at the beginning the complete set for the entire event?
-
Scoring and scoreboard: Is the decreasing score expected behavior, and when will the scoreboard become accessible again?
-
Event completion: If participants complete all available challenges early, will there be additional activities or challenges to work on during the remaining time?
-
Certification and rewards: Will participants receive a certificate of participation, a completion certificate, or any other recognition for taking part in the event?
I'd appreciate some clarification so participants can better understand the event structure and what to expect over the next three days.
Thank you for organizing this event and for your time!
