found the correct inputs for a combinational logic circuit that makes an led glow. I have previous experience working with logic circuits sso this wasn't really difficult for me atleast. It was fun solving the logic.
I just had to make a circuit that makes 3 LEDs turn on in a chasing pattern, with an Arduino Nam=no. Wasn't all that challenging beacause i have experience working with Arduinos.

I wasn't able to solve this but i learned a few things about what aircrack-ng is and how it can be used to hack. I also learned a few things about what wireshark is and how to use it.
I downloaded a text file, which I opened to see that it was not a readable text file, so i used a hex editor and saw that the text file was actually an image. So I corrected the file signature for the jfif file and opened it to reveal the flag.
Downloaded an audio file and decoded the morse code in the audio file. Learnt how to decode morse code using online software.
downloaded an audio file and played it whic had nothing intelligible, so i used audacity to try making a heat graph for the audio, which revealed an image of Rick Astley, which was the flag.
solved a combinational logic circuit that made an led glow, then entered the values into a simulation of an Arduino Uno with an LCD display connected to it, then entered the values of A,B,C and D for which the led had glown, which revealed the flag.
downloaded an image of an outlet. I noticed that it was the outlet type used in Italy. Then I entered the flag as italy.
I wired a circuit up according to the given circuit diagram, and connected the arduino to my laptop and extracted the flag from the serial monitor.
downloaded a file with no extension. After reading the challenge name, I opened a terminal window and used the command called grep to search for the flag.
Used the grep command on the provided attachment and found a cipher text, which used a Cipher identifier to identify which type of cipher it was and decoded the cipher text to reveal the flag.
Opened the challenge and saw a string of 1s and 0s, initially i thought it was binary, then i tried to decode it into text. It did not work so i thought it might be some kind of cipher, so i tried to identify what type of cipher it was. I saw that it was a spoon type cipher.
used a Ceasarcipher decoder to decrypt the ciphertext. learned the basics of ceaser cipher encryption
searched google for french cipher and used a vigenere cipher decoder to decrypt the ciphertext #I2C_FOR_LYF Recieved two Arduino Nanos placed on a breadboard, where i had to figure out what to do to make the Arduinos communicate. I have some experience working with I2C communication protocol, so I know that there has to be a serial data line and a serial clock line, so i searched google for the default SDA and SCL pins of an Arduino Nano. Once i found out the SDA and SCL pins of the Arduino, I connected the respective pins and downloaded the software required for the Logic analyser then used the logic analyser to record the communicated data. I then saw that the data was in hexadecimal, which i decoded to obtain the flag.
I recived an esp8266 module from which i had to extract the flag. I connected the module to my laptop, then I tried to use the Arduino IDE to open the serial monitor. It did not work because the required drivers were not installed. I installed the necessary drivers and then used the serial monitor again. the module printed junk values onto the serial monitor. I then tried different baud rates, for which 115200 baud showed a text saying "you are close". That meant I found the correct baud rate. I then changed the serial monitor option to shaw Newline and Carriage Return. Then i tried sending the command print(flag) to the module which returned a cipher text which i decoded to find the flag.
Joined the Discord server which had the flag on a channel.
