Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are they seriously expecting people to sideload a mossad apk on their phones?

If you're dumb enough to do that... maybe they blacklist you from their recruitment efforts moving forward. You could always install it on a virtual phone in a sandboxed VM.

What do you do if they have sandbox escapes you don't know about? The kind of person that runs it in a VM is someone they'd probably want to be looking at.

Paranoia++ :)

I don't have time for slow-ass typing text. Next.

If I need to read the source code of a fucking website for it to be useful, then it's either a really special edge-case or the designer is a moron. Guess which case this is.

Why not upload a plain text file in the first place?

Ignoring the editorialized made up title of this post, is there any information on who actually made this challenge?

Saved you the huss of reading hebrew, but actually the challenge starts at: https://www.mossad.gov.il/Pages/default.aspx

You need to figure out the address of the site I posted from the picture. (Not that difficult)

THIS IS LEGITIMATE. The Israeli Mossad had a ad today, https://www.algemeiner.com/2019/05/09/mossad-marks-israeli-i... with a picture. The picture has 4 rows of trophies, which should be converted to 4 numbers using binary --> decimal. Those four numbers are 35, 246, 158, 51.

As an ip address, 35.246.158.51 leads to the site OP posted.

Level 1: The people who just go to the site/download the APK

Level 2: The people who realize that the requested actions are likely unsafe, and complain about it

Level 3: People who realize that this is part of the challenge and just use a VM

Nobody on HN is "this dumb", if you want to participate in a challenge with an intelligence agency, take the proper precautions
