--[ Recon / Initial Analysis ]--
This archive-style writeup preserves the official prompt and materials from
BoroCTF challenge 006. The numbered source file did not include expanded solve
notes for approach, findings, or flag, so this page keeps the verified challenge
material without adding unverified exploit steps.
Use the prompt, connection details, and any listed files above as the starting
point for a replay or future expanded solve.

--[ Exploitation / Solution ]--
No solve transcript was present in the numbered source file. If a verified solve
is added later, this section should be replaced with the actual commands,
payloads, scripts, and final flag path.

- The challenge prompt and provided materials are preserved in the site's
BoroCTF archive.
