# Foreword
These are the solutions to the 2023 DEFCON Gold Bug puzzle hunt hosted by the Crypto and Privacy Village. This hunt was really good fun, and I'd definitely recommend it to future DEFCON attendees, especially those who enjoy a bit of puzzling in their spare time. A huge thank you to my friends [Adam](https://twitter.com/hash_kitten), [Emily](https://twitter.com/emilyposting_), [Jamie](https://twitter.com/JJJollyjim), [Joseph](https://twitter.com/josep68_), [Rhys](https://twitter.com/rhysmdnz), [SiJing](https://twitter.com/fulminatingmoat), and [Tomais](https://twitter.com/softpoison_) for helping team oce_best win this cool bug trophy.
