H@CKER$: An Hour-Long Equos Infiltration — Team Hacking Live in Naperville.
Join an elite hacking group in Naperville for an exhilarating, one-hour mission to infiltrate Equos. Your objective: gain access to an old server during the office lunch hour, shut down three security systems protecting it, and install a virus that encrypts the company’s financial data — a compact, high-stakes challenge built around strategy and teamwork.

Infiltrate Equos and Reach the Server
The core objective is surgical: access the server room while staff are out and install a single virus on an old server before it’s removed. It’s a narrative-driven, time-compressed push against the clock.
Disable Three Security Systems
Progress hinges on bypassing three separate security systems that stand between your team and the server; success depends on quick thinking and coordinated problem solving.
One Hour, High Stakes
You get roughly an hour—the window while office staff are on lunch—to execute the plan. The compressed timeframe intensifies decision-making and teamwork at every step.
