Exercise
You must solve various security exercises. For every task you solve, you are awarded the points shown in the task descriptions. Mandatory challenges are marked with '*' and must be solved. The difference to 50 points can be obtained by solving free challenges. If your team solved more challenges than needed, the mandatory challenges plus a random set of solved free challenges will be considered for the exercise interview and grading.

Please note, there are updates of TEAMDATA and README files (lab0 account), e.g., the username needed for this lab is to be found in the TEAMDATA file and is different from previous labs.
