DEADROP Misc 6 - //CHAOS
A meta-challenge hidden across the DEADROP platform. No challenge listing, no files, no hints. Four flag fragments concealed using four different techniques, favicon MD5 steganography, a hidden 404 endpoint, zero-width Unicode in a checksum field, and a non-standard base64 meta attribute. Unit 7 says hello.
