Last month, Jacob asked me to create a CTF challenge for the Summer Pwnables event. I went with a kernel pwnable since my goal was to teach students some more advanced Linux kernel exploitation techniques - something that wouldn’t get solved in a day (and hopefully not by AI either). After building both the challenge and solution, I figured students should be able to crack it within 3-7 days. Turns out I was right about the timeline, but only one person actually solved it.
