Chapter 0x02 - Is it too abstract ? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Hey everyone !

With so many people stuck at 200 points on the board, I'm wondering if the chapter 2 isn't too "abstract" ?

The Cyb3r Hunt is meant to be challenging, but it shouldn't discourage players because they can't figure out what to do.

For those that went past it, did you find the solution sketchy ? Did it all make sense, or you went past it without really understanding what all these files were for ?

For those stuck, where are you stuck at (please use a spoiler tag) ?

I'm considering removing some files I consider "optional", and changing the hint to make it less like a guessing game as to what to do.

Any opinions on this ?

I know a problem I've been having is with

Chapter 0x03's git puzzle. I've finished every part except a-z in a matter of minutes. However, I've been stuck at the a-z puzzle for 3-4 weeks now.

What "difference"? How do I "read through it"? Is the reference file only to denote the starting point or is it meant for something else? I tried seemingly everything, but nothing lined up. A hint will be nice.

I figured it out

it definitely was not clear, and I mostly found it through trial and error.

To make it more clear, instead of "read through", say "find the diff" or "there's a particular diff"; otherwise, people may spend time (like I did) trying to find a way to combine the diffs together.
