CyberMinds Task Knowledge: #106 CTF-02 Web Recon Starter

Issue: https://github.com/Cyber-Minds/CyberMinds/issues/106 Owner: @vishaan2010-dotcom Due: 2026-04-24

Objective

Ship beginner recon challenge using service and header discovery.

Recommended Build Plan

1. Configure sandbox for controlled ss -tulpen and curl -I discovery.
2. Require recon-notes.txt containing service map, header findings, stack hypothesis.
3. Build deterministic validator for mandatory findings.

Security And Safety

• Restrict targets to local/sandbox endpoints only.
• No production hostnames, credentials, or external scanning instructions.
• Sanitize note parsing and enforce bounded input length.

Quality Checks

• Confirm challenge reproducibility on clean environment.
• Verify false-positive rate is low for checker logic.
