Overview

An intercepted communication from a high-security server reveals the use of Elliptic Curve Cryptography for its key exchange mechanism. Intelligence suggests that the system administrator made a critical cryptographic error during the curve selection process, deploying a vulnerable curve that undermines the system's integrity.

OBJECTIVE

Exploit the flawed curve selection to efficiently solve the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP), decrypt the intercepted communication, and recover the hidden flag.
