Hello Grant, I think revealing too much here would rather spoil the
intention of our take home test. :) So instead I'll leave a few pointers
that are hopefully helpful without giving up the game:

- A successful candidate will have some familiarity with git and be
  comfortable with using git repositories as research tools.

- A successful candidate will take a step back when blocked on a problem
  and look for other perspectives or angles on a solution. There's a lot
  of resources for researching security problems and some are easier to
  use than others.

I hope this helps.

Thanks
