  • Hi, I’m at 300 points (SIV). Chapter 2 was challenging, there’s no denying. The most difficult part, for me was

    to fetch the files from the gopherhole because torbrowser would not manage .onion URI even tough I had installed OverbiteWX addon. And I didn’t find how to use gopher(1) to access an .onion URI. So my solution was to use curl over torsocks. Maybe there was a simplier solution.

    Then understanding the reason to be for the files took me some time but I got it in a few hours. The other difficult thing, for me, was

    to understand how to configure Yggdrasil: at first, I thought I had to add the address provided by the nmap file to Yggdrasil’s conf file. Documentation on the web is scarce and it took me some time to get it: I had to use a public IPV6 address to connect to the Yggdrasil network in order to connect to the farm server.

    I would not remove any file, if I were you: the difficulty laid in using Yggdrasil, not understanding what to do.

    the puzzle… I think a found a relevant clue I hadn’t given much attention: “chisel”. I hope I’m in the right direction, because I don’t really understand if I’m supposed to get that key to setup a SOCK5 proxy, and then access the MINE, or if getting that key requires the SOCK5 proxy before. Documentation in the wiki and on Chapter 3 page does not help: it tells me I need this proxy to access any ressource from the mine. Is the git puzzle one of them or the key I need to setup the proxy, which means I should get it without the proxy? It’s a kind of ouroboros thing to me. 

    Well, this game is one of the most challenging ones I’ve ever played and I enjoy every moment of it. Thanks.
