January 2023's Turtles Challenge
Editor's note:
The Turtles WiFi challenges are a series of ctf-style problems concerning network and wifi security skills. We first ran a challenge in this style at Stockholm's Midnight Sun CTF Finals in August '22 at the Turtles MidnightSun Finals. You can play along with January's challenge, with the github repository.
January's winner, Amy from Ret2 Systems, has kindly let us share their challenge writeup. Congratulations! And thanks again for putting this writeup together.
February's contest will be released on the 20th and we will be giving out more raspberry pis!
Intro
We find ourselves in a twisting maze of WLANs. There are 5 machines connected across several WLAN networks. We start as root on the first machine and must move laterally across the network to exfiltrate 3 flag files. From our box we can connect to an access point with the SSID "jan-turtle1".
