DEFCON 20: Network Forensics Puzzle Contest

Decryption keys and answers for the DEFCON 20 Network Forensics Puzzle Contest are listed below.  The website indicated that they will provide a full write up of the solution.

If you're wondering where the questions are, they were on CDs handed out during the con when you registered to play.  You just have to go to the DC Contest Area and look for their desk.  The moderators will give you a piece of paper where you have to write your team name and a phone number where they can text you the decryption keys.  They will also provide you a cell number where you can text your answers.  For every correct answer you text them, they will text you back the decryption key for the next round and so on....etc. 

I guess if you can read packets, write code, analyze and listen to talks at the same time during the con, then you have a good chance of having a productive Defcon weekend.
