Challenge Overview

Your city's law enforcement had captured a member of a threat actor group called 8urGl3 and had the hacker's laptop. We believe this hacker has critical information that manages our national infrastructure. The data server manages the network of highways, bridges, tunnels, railways, utilities, and buildings necessary to maintain normalcy in daily life. Transportation, commerce, clean water, and electricity rely on these vital systems. The threat actor group has threatened law enforcement to take over the critical server and data. As a Cybercrime Investigator, you are tasked to compromise the image of the hacker's system and obtain the necessary files.
