Te Kuiti Warrior

The Scene

A crafty hacker finds himself... once again... captured by some of those dodgy shearer types in the sprawling wilderness that is Te Kuiti. Unknown to the lovers of wooly beasts, the ever-prepared champion of freedom has managed to stash his trusty lockpicks in his socks and is about to make his escape. Are you up for the challenge? Lateral Security and DRoc proudly present the Kiwi Warrior Challenge.

This is a lockpicking competition to be run alongside Operation Lights-out on Saturday night. Contestants will be handcuffed in a cell and be required to circumvent multiple locks in order to gain their freedom. Each task will have 3 levels of difficultly so the event will be noob-friendly. The entire run is timed and points are awarded for each task.
