Usage

Generate a New Challenge

├── writeup/            # Official writeup
├── checker/            # Automated flag checker
│   └── __main__.py
├── authors.txt         # Challenge authors
├── description.md      # Challenge description
├── endpoint.txt        # Connection details
├── flags.txt           # Challenge flags
