NEW: Ph0wn2own 2026

📢 ph0wn Announcement: Arrr You Ready?

Ahoy, mateys!
⏳ 1 week to go, pirates — sharpen yer blades!
This time, the hunt begins before ye even set foot on deck.
One of our sailors was doin' routine maintenance when he stumbled upon a peculiar device actin' all strange-like.
This damn thing keeps respondin' to mysterious network requests, and there's definitely somethin' fishy about one of its services!
Well, we can't have a compromised device sailin' with our fleet, can YE brave souls figure out which service is the culprit and exploit it before we toss the whole thing overboard?
Ye can find the file by navigatin’ to this location.
