A library and CLI to solve, check, and generate proof-of-work challenges using kCTF's scheme.
For use as a library, add the kctf-pow crate into your dependencies.
The CLI can be installed with cargo install kctf-pow, or by cloning the repository, building with cargo build --release, and manually copying the executable.
To solve a challenge and print the solution to stdout:
kctf-pow solve <challenge>
For example:
```bash
kctf-pow solve s.AAAAMg==.NDtqORW1uZlIgzszbdMGZA==
To check a solution for a challenge:
kctf-pow check
The solution is read from stdin. If the solution is correct, the program will exit with status code 0 andcorrectwill be outputted. If the solution is incorrect, the program will exit with status code 1 andincorrect` will be outputted. If the solution is malformed, the program will exit with status code 1 and an error message will be printed to stderr.
For example: ```bash kctf-pow check s.AAAAMg==.NDtqORW1uZlIgzszbdMGZA==
```
To randomly generate a challenge:
kctf-pow gen <difficulty>
For example:
```bash
kctf-pow gen 50
```
To chain challenge generation and checking:
kctf-pow ask <difficulty>
For example:
```bash
kctf-pow ask 50
```
The documentation for the library is available on docs.rs.
