At PhreakTel, we get all kinds of questions, and we're tired of answering them on the phone (help desk people aren't cheap), so we've put together this handy Frequently Asked Questions, pronounced FA-Q, to help you on your way.
FAQ
What number do I need to dial? Its literally the only number on the main CTF page, just go to phreakme.com you can't miss it.
How do I dial an extension? We get it, phones are hard. Once you connect to our PBX just enter the extension you want to dial. It's just that easy
I tried calling an extension on the payphone but it's not working? As with all challenges you'll need to call the main CTF phone number first
The BBS keeps calling me a lamer and disconnecting me! What gives? It tells you what gives. Figuring it out is part of the challenge.
Where's my PIN? It's right up there, at the top of your screen with a little key next to it.
After the intro the phone starts playing a song, like Hack all the things, when do I enter the extension? Literally any time, before, or during, the song.
I entered the flag but its not giving me the points? Are you sure you entered the right flag? Is that even a flag? Make sure you listen carefully.
Ok for real, this is the right flag for the right question and it still says incorrect. Come talk to us in person (gasp) at the booth and we can resolve it for you. We won't be giving you the answers though.
Some of these flags are too hard? Yes
Those badges look super cool, can I have one? Yes, if you pay for it. No, if you don't.
