As I (and my now partner Eevee) race towards the level 8 finish line, I don't feel quite the same. I see us making limited progress and see the number of people finishing level 7 rising, haha. This is fun, though.

Good luck guys.

I just made it to level 8 this morning and haven't a clue where to really begin with it.

It's definitely a lot of fun and has been an interesting journey for sure. Love little games like this.

I've worked in/with security along these lines for a very long time. This CTF (particularly level 8) has been some of the most difficult stuff I've ever done. Thanks to Stripe for putting this together; if I wasn't already a customer, I absolutely would be now!
More difficult than hotel locks? :)
Yes. A million times, yes. While the lock stuff took a while and was rather involved, it was simple. This... not so much.
Ended up finally finishing level 8. Was a huge pain but definitely feel so much better for completing it -- what a rush.

Yeah it was pretty tricky but once you get down the approach it's not too bad. Took me awhile to realize what was going on.
