Our team finished the LosT@Con mystery challenge at Defcon 15 in 5th place. We completed it in 25 hours and 6 minutes.
The challenge required completing many different tasks.
1. Riddle solving
2. Crypto
3. Lockpicking
4. Social engineering. From what we understand we were the only team that got the maintenance of the hotel to assist with our quest. We were unable to pick the bottom lock soooo we used a drill press. I heard some teams were able to pick it, but I can not confirm that.
5. Constructing a circuit to read a message sent via a led..mmm soldering
6. MORE riddle solving.
..oh and dialing a phone with 1337 skills.
We were told the team has a guaranteed place in next years mystery challenge so we can bypass any pre-qualification round that might be setup, or at least I hope we can.

Congrats on finishing the challenge...I was part of the team that finished 3rd. We couldn't get the bottom lock picked either so we just bypassed the electronic safety measures and went in from the top.
Only 362 more days...I better get practicing with those lockpicks!
