>However there are stories of teams going a step further and hacking home routers from random IPs located in various countries. I guess that's trading in ethics and legality for CTF points.

Basically the first 50 countries were easy using whatever methods. The next 50 were doable. But then the struggle really began and some teams started getting desperate/creative I guess.

Note that I'm using 50 as a random example number here, not an actual measurement.
