Folks,

We are realizing that the Forensic Challenge 8 - "Malware Reverse Engineering" - is really difficult to solve because right now we received just 5 submissions. For this reason we decided to extend the submission deadline again to July 31th.

Those who already submitted a solution before June 30th are granted the possibility to submit again thus taking advantage of this one-month extra time. Moreover a few extra bonus points will be assigned to them.

Have fun!

Taking a look at the first submissions it seems like the Forensic Challenge 8 - "Malware Reverse Engineering" - is quite difficult to solve. For this reason we decided to extend the submission deadline to June 30th.
