ME Lead — authenticate to take operational oversight of your operators. The instructor dashboard surfaces per-operator tier progression, support requests, and intervention controls (flag override, password reset, manual unlocks).
Use this view to monitor operator health, unblock students stalled mid-tier, and coordinate ME tempo across the operation.
Unit leadership — authenticate to access the commander dashboard. Surfaces ME health at a glance: operator counts per tier, mission completion velocity, support volume, and operation-wide tempo against ENDEX.
Read-mostly view. Use it for operational reporting and to identify Mission Elements that may need additional support.
Operation Iron Veil — Threat group DARKWAVE-37 has established a multi-segment staging network as a launch platform for follow-on operations against critical infrastructure. CPT 169 has been tasked with penetrating the network, mapping their footprint segment-by-segment, and capturing intelligence flags at each stage to deny them their staging ground.
You are an operator assigned to a Mission Element. Provision your account below; you will receive credentials for the range entry point and a verification flag for first contact. Phase progression is enforced — Tier 1 (Recon) through Tier 5 (Maneuver), 25 flags per tier.
Tradecraft escalates by tier. Hint posture moves from generous (Tier 1) to minimal (Tiers 4–5). By the time you reach Bravo segment, you operate blind.
Your operator account is provisioned but you have not yet cleared the gate. Reconnect to the range entry point, retrieve the verification flag from welcome_flag.txt, and submit it below to enter the operations console.
Run cat welcome_flag.txt after connecting, then paste the flag below.
Your operator account is active. Establish initial foothold on the range entry point:
-p (uses default port 22).
Once on the entry point, run ls and cat welcome_flag.txt for your full mission brief — adversary profile, tier arc, ROE, and your entry verification flag.
Paste the entry flag below to clear the gate and unlock the operations console. Reference: mission (next objective), mission-brief (operation overview).
Returning operator — identify yourself to resume mission progress. Your tier state and captured flags are preserved server-side; SSH credentials remain unchanged from your original provisioning.
If you need to re-verify the entry flag, run cat welcome_flag.txt after SSH connect.
telnet <host> 2323YOUR_CALLSIGN / your-passwordssh YOUR_CALLSIGN@<host> -p 22cat /opt/iron_veil/tools/tunnel_ref.txt
ip, nmap, ssh, tunneling tools, and the rest of the kit. This only happens once, at the gate.
