This article describes a DerbyCon challenge-coin puzzle: a long string around the coin's edge is base64-decoded and then XOR-decoded using the key "Finish Line" to reveal the quote "Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose. DerbyCon forever." The post explains the steps, hints given at the con, and the use of tools like CyberChef; it contains no cyber incident, indicators, or threat activity.
