Specter I — OSINT

L5 — Sock Puppet Operational Tradecraft

Mission

Construct a persona that survives a 21-day platform warmup plus five SOC probes (photo provenance, timezone consistency, follow-graph entropy, stylometric consistency, warmup pacing), then infiltrate the target's candidate Slack and exfil intel under a lite Berkeley Protocol.

Why this matters in 2026

The persona IS the operation. One detection burns the whole investigation and tips the target — there is no "warning" round in adversarial OSINT.

Connection Terminal

Password: locked — solve L4 first. After submission the per-player SSH password for this level becomes available here (different string from the flag itself).

Each connection spawns a fresh ephemeral container — no shared shell, no cross-player residue. Disconnect tears it down.
