Use of Scripts
Detective:
Note that use of scripts is allowed and even encouraged on SOME challenges.
Scripts are intended for challenges marked: ![]()
Scripts are permitted, but not necessary for challenges marked: ![]()
Scripts are NOT permitted for challenges marked: ![]()
Under no circumstances should any script be used to bruteforce the solution form, even if the challenge shows a green icon. This will result in an immediate ban.
If any user is found to be running scripts on a challenge with a red icon, this will result in investigation and may lead to a ban.
It is perfectly okay to download any code and run a script on your localhost. This may be useful for dictionary attack or bruteforce of javascript, applets, or anything else you see fit.
That is all.
