It runs on an ATtiny85 and communicates using I²C. The challenge includes 4 milestones:
Both the PCB design and the firmware are open source and available on GitHub. In fact, you are expected to read the source code of the firmware in order to solve the challenge!
The challenge rules:
While solving the challenge, don't forget to check out the ATtiny85 datasheet, as it will come in very handy. Also, the on-board reset button will prove useful whenever the firmware stops responding to your I²C commands.
The schematic of the board:
I designed a smart conference badge, and wanted to create a minimal Shitty Add-on to go with it. After creating the hardware for this add-on, I realized the most interesting use of it would be to turn it into a CTF riddle. Conference attendees who solve the riddle will be able to show-off by walking around with a lit LED on their badges.
It is a great way to learn about the internals of the AVR architecture and to dig into I²C while enjoying a fun challenge. You will find yourself diving into the datasheet, studying the various registers and memory regions, and even writing some assembly / machine code (for the 3rd/4th milestones).
The board comes assembled and pre-programmed with the CTF firmware. Each board contains the following:
