Extra Credit


CSE 365 - Fall 2026.

This module contains optional extra credit challenges for CSE 365.

Each regular course module has three extra credit challenges: Easy, Medium, and Hard.

🚨 Required for Extra Credit 🚨

Solving a challenge alone does not earn credit. After every extra credit challenge you complete, you must SUBMIT THE REQUIRED CTF ARCHIVE CHALLENGE REFLECTION to receive any points.

Each reflection should take about 5 minutes and briefly describe what you did and what you learned.

Regular coursework offers up to 840 points against the course's 800-point baseline, or 105%. The Extra Credit module offers up to 40 additional credited points, bringing the maximum to 880/800 points, or 110%. More than 40 points of extra credit challenges are available for flexibility, but only 40 points may count toward your final grade. See the syllabus for more details.

Encoding is not encryption, but what if I just encode the flag with base16,32,64? If I encode my precious flag for 150 times, surely no one will be able to decode it, right?
