SNACKSPACECON v2025.05.14a


While the drones gather at HackSpaceCon, we've infiltrated the system.


SnackSpaceCon is an unofficial sidecon running parallel to HackSpaceCon (May 11-15, 2025).
It represents the subversive, independent hacker spirit, fueled with quality snacks.


While the main conference follows traditional patterns, SnackSpaceCon operates in the margins – where innovation happens.
No corporate sponsors, no surveillance, just edible cookies.


Join us during the pool party! 2025-05-14 | Location: 28°23'43"N 80°36'44"W |
ATTN: Be sure to see the chicken and collect Challenge 1 prizes upon successful submission. Few prizes remain


Congratulations to all the winners!

OUR MANIFESTO

cat manifesto.txt

CHALLENGES

CHALLENGE 01: SNACK CRYPTOGRAPHY

Decode the hidden menu to discover the secret submission form. Create a hacker-inspired snack concept that merges food and technology through wordplay. The most creative entries that successfully solved the puzzle will receive binary bites and access to exclusive events.

HINT: Not all pages are meant to be found through normal navigation. Some are hidden from human visitors.

CHALLENGE 02: SHADOW CTF

Infiltrate our network through a multi-stage capture the flag challenge. Begin by finding hidden data in the website's shadows, then discover our hidden access point and navigate the terminal maze.

HINT: Shadows exist in the paths between rendered pixels. Look at what forms the image, not what appears on screen.

CHALLENGE 03: DNS TREASURE HUNT

Navigate a complex web of hidden DNS records to uncover secrets buried in the internet's infrastructure. Start with a single domain and follow the digital breadcrumbs across record types, encoded messages, and steganographic IP addresses.

HINT: The journey begins at start.hunt.snackspacecon.com - all tools needed are freely available.
