+# PoliCTF 2017 Challenge
+
+This is the hint displayed on the challenge page:
+
+> We found this executable and we think it must have something in common with the baddies' infrastructure.
+> We would be glad to understand what `data` they are hiding from us...
+
+# How to deploy
+
+The challenge can be deployed by running the `create_files.sh` helper script and by running the `server.elf` behind a proxy (xinetd). The server needs to access the files in the `res/` directory.
