Welcome to "Query Quake," our Capture The Flag (CTF) challenge designed to test your skills in vulnerability exploitation and privilege escalation.

Are you ready to quake the queries and find the flags? Let the challenge begin!

Challenge Overview

In "Query Quake," your mission is to find two hidden flags:

1. User Flag: Located in the /home directory.
2. Root Flag: Located in the /root directory.

Steps to Success
