First Wave
Written on 24.04.2026 14:05 by Thorsten Eisenhofer
Dear Students,
The wait is over: the first wave of challenges is live, and you can already connect to the first two challenges of the semester:
- ssh snicket@pine
- ssh cheetah@pine
Now is the perfect time to get started, explore the challenges, and claim your first points.
If you run into any connection issues, please let us know - we'll do our best to help you get up and running quickly. We are aware of one issue that sometimes connections from within the university network may fail. We are currently looking into this to see if this can be fixed. In the meantime, using a VPN while on campus should solve the problem.
Once you submit your first solution, you'll appear on the scoreboard at pine-aisec.org, as well as on the shared scoreboard with our friends in Vienna, Berlin, and Hamburg at raid-international.org.
Remember: points are awarded continuously, so getting started early gives you more time to climb the scoreboard!
Good luck, have fun, and happy hacking!
The PINE Team
