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.

\> 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}`.
