I got stuck on level3 over the weekend and then had to put it down due to life stuff. But it was still a ton of fun, and I learned a lot.

If anyone from Stripe is here, do you plan to post the original problem statements and repos for the problems anywhere public now that it's done? I'd love to get a look at level 4... :)

I have a post on the CTF infrastructure that I'm working on; should be out in the next few days hopefully.

Looks like the original level sources have been published, though perhaps we'll do something official as well.

Ha, I missed that this existed. Thank you!

Well it was published about half an hour ago ;)

Same situation here. I'd love to work through the problems at my own pace over the next few weeks though - I'd also like a way of replicating the solution testing that Stripe performs when you do an actual submission.

Is that infrastructure going to be released as well? Or would I need to just rely on the test harnesses and comparing my solution against the published ones?

You'll be stuck with the test harness for the foreseeable future, unfortunately. Releasing the submission infrastructure in a usable form would unfortunately be a looot of work. We're working on open-sourcing a lot of the dependencies, though.

Ok, that's probably enough for my learning purposes. Thanks!

Not having looked through all the problems yet - do they all have a reasonable test harness that gives you some sort of score?
