    30 readers took our C/C++ challenge. Some solved the Linux warmup, but nobody cracked the Windows driver bug. Even LLM-assisted submissions came up short.

    The walkthrough explains both, including the Windows escalation from local DoS to kernel code execution.

    Best 10 submissions are still getting swag. If you won, we'll be in contact.
