Is it spam or it's really a challenge ?

No it's really a challenge, well depending on your skill level I guess. For myself I know I saw some interesting things that I had never encountered, but some of the upper talent on this site would most likely laugh at it :) Sign up and give it a whirl!

It was good challenge though and more over its just first phase of the 3 stage challenge. It had basic anti debugging tricks along with unpacking stuff. Floating point computations was something new I saw & learnt in this challenge.

Overall good one and enjoyed it.

i only looked at the packer on this challenge, i couldn't care less of the rest.

The packer is rather straightforward, and use very common code.

The invitation was sent out this afternoon. They've posted the number of entries, but still no details on the winners.
