    Adc is from “lollerskaterz dropping from roflcopters” and The13 i guess is from “PLUS” but m not so sure.
    Also… the linked to forensics 100 solution is the same as the pwntet pwnables 100…

    Regards
    PS: I have uploaded the materials from forensics 300 and binary l33tness 400 to my site (if you need them).
    PS2: Did you find any forensics solutions? (the only solution i could find were on the google cache of the westannex wikidot but according to ddtek they actually don’t beat that challengue).
