Exploit: Zero Day

A Test Before a Request

Hope you liked the “waggling fingers” bit. It might seem a little paranoid of me to ask you to crack the Kryptos sculpture here, but I’ve got my reasons to be a little wary of your group. It’s not a big deal if this isn’t your sort of thing; it just opens up an extra avenue of collaboration once we actually meet each other.
