=Notes= Taking a peak at the firmware was something that had been mentioned in the Slack channel. I managed to hold off until I had completed all of my challenges on the badge and the Completionist challenge before taking a peak under the hood. There was a firmware update posted on the scoreboard so it was readily available to snag and look through without having to jump into the hardware. A simple strings command gave me a good facepalm as I realized all the flags and challenges were readily available in the firmware and I could've blasted through the challenges with perfect knowledge of what to expect. But that would've been cheating! Which... is kinda encouraged in hackerland... So I used this knowledge to go easter egg hunting. Searching each flag on twitter to find the posted ones. Mostly google fu and listening to the podcast and hacker warehouse interviews helped me find a number of other easter eggs to confirm the flags. The hardest one was the Layer One challenge, which I will have to post a writeup on my strategy for sometime soon. By the time I started down the Layer One challenge, I had 8 unused flags with knowledge that 4 of them were landmines that would hand out -1000 points.
