`lilith` did OSINT correlation for the op and left some "crypto tooling" lying around charon. One of those tools was granted a Linux capability it should never have had.
Use it to become the next user and read their flag.
\> NOTE: Heads up: charon is disposable. Every web-shell session is a fresh copy of the box, so grab each flag as you find it.
Submit the flag as `deadface{flag-text}`.

DEADFACE runs an internal ops/staging box they call **charon** - it's where the crew coordinates their influence operation. We got you a foothold on it.
Open the web-shell by clicking the link below. You'll land at a shell as the `svc-deploy` service account. Get your bearings and find the flag that proves your foothold.

As `deephax`, you can see this member keeps a little tooling project in his home directory. `deephax` swears he scrubbed the credentials out of it.
He's wrong. Recover the password for the next member, become that user, and read their flag.

You've reached `mort1cia`, the DEADFACE second-in-command. Only root is above you now — and root holds the master Kingmaker payload.
Read the final flag from root's home.
Submit as `deadface{...}`.

Whichever member of DEADFACE used the `svc-deploy` account last was sloppy. There are many DEADFACE members who use this machine.
Access one of their accounts and read the flag in their home directory.

`spookyboi` handled decryption for the crew and kept notes on the rest of the team. One of them: the DEADFACE second-in-command, `mort1cia` — who, apparently, *still* hasn't changed her password, and reuses the same personal one everywhere.
mort1cia has a past, and it was exposed elsewhere. Track down the password she's been assigned, become her, and read the flag.
Recover `mort1cia`'s password, become that user, and read her flag.
Submit as `deadface{...}`.
