    Challenge Overview<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Objective: Participants were tasked with taking over Bill’s server and fixing various issues. This exercise aimed to develop Linux administration and command-line skills, which are fundamental for more advanced cybersecurity concepts and NCAE preparation.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Challenge Access and Setup<\/span><\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Participants accessed the challenge through the NCAE Cyber Games website<\/span><\/li>\n
    • They were instructed to use the BILL-Client-v2-PRQD virtual machine<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Login credentials: username “bill” and password “password”<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Initial Tasks<\/span><\/h2>\n
        \n
      1. Locate the cyberuser#.txt file in the home directory (possibly hidden)<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Find the assigned IP address using the “ip a” command<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. Ping 172.19.0.1 to verify server connectivity<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. Use curl to access the challenge instructions webpage<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Additional Activities<\/span><\/h2>\n
