Last weeks meeting was a great success. We seem to be generating a lot of buzz about the movement. The key for next weeks meeting is resistance. If there is anyone else you know of that may be interested in joining bring them to the meeting this week. It will be held same time, same place.

Let's check with flagCheck

hacker@csawctf2011~crypto-100-3:/challenge$ ./flagCheck
Enter the flag: resistance
Correct flag!
