    Наша команда тоже участвовала в codegate и мы решили проще, мы просто уменьшили картинку раза в 2-2.5 и она благополучно скормилась онлайн распознавателю http://www.janones.com.br/portal/index/qrcode/. Но видимо зря мы так. Вчера вот на Plaid CTF ничего не смогли поделать с битыми QR’ками, старый фокус не прошел, а так бы уже знали в какую сторону копать.

    Спасибо за Вам за блог. Будем читать ваши разборы, ждем заданий с Plaid’a =)

  1. Watches that are too big or too small don’t do
    anyone any good. A fine timepiece is something that can become
    an heirloom piece that is passed down from generation to generation.

    That is not to say that any of the designer watches won.
