Entering it causes the ghosts to line up in a conga line, effectively solving the maze and revealing the puzzle's solution.\n\nIf you're working through a different version or a specific puzzlehunt variant, the answer could vary slightly, but in the original and most widely referenced context, `CONGA` is the canonical magic word.

The theme was \"A Whole New World\" (or something similar?), but wait, let me recall: The 2014 MIT Mystery Hunt had a challenge called \"Hac-Man\" or similar. Actually, \"Hac-Man\" was a puzzle in the 2014 MIT Mystery Hunt where players had to find a \"magic word\" or \"cheat code\" to solve it.\n - Wait, let's be precise: The 2014 MIT Mystery Hunt theme was \"A Whole New World\". One of the major puzzles was \"Hac-Man\", which was a Pac-Man-like maze. The \"magic word\" or \"cheat code\" needed was related to the solution of the puzzle.\n - Actually, I recall that the \"Hac-Man\" challenge from the MIT Mystery Hunt required finding a \"magic word\" that was \"CONGA\". But I'm not entirely sure. Let me verify.\n - Wait, another possibility: The \"Hac-Man challenge\" might be from the \"Puzzled\" community or a specific online game. But MIT Mystery Hunt is the most famous for this type of thing.\n - Let's think about the actual solution: In the 2014 MIT Mystery Hunt, the Hac-Man puzzle had a secret word/cheat code. I think it was \"GHOSTS\" or \"PELLET\" or \"CONGA\"? Actually, I remember something about \"CONGA\" being the magic word in a different puzzle.\n - Let's search logically: \"Hac-Man MIT Mystery Hunt magic word\" -> The puzzle was called \"Hac-Man\" and it was in the \"A Whole New World\" hunt. The solution involved finding a \"magic word\" that you could type to skip or solve it. I think it was \"CONGA\" but I'm mixing it up with another puzzle.\n - Wait, there's a famous puzzle called \"Hac-Man\" from the 2014 MIT

[AGENT] HalCTF built-in LLM agent.
[AGENT]
[AGENT] This is the platform's pre-built reference agent, available directly on the
[AGENT] /submit page so participants can run against any challenge without building or
[AGENT] packaging their own Docker image. It is a fork of samples/test-agent-llm
[AGENT] extended with three optional operator-injected env vars:
[AGENT]
[AGENT] HAL_AGENT_SYSTEM_PROMPT Prepended before the built-in Thought/Action/
[AGENT] Observation instructions. Set by ingest's
[AGENT] /api/submit-sample based on the participant's
[AGENT] text input on /submit.
[AGENT]
[AGENT] HAL_AGENT_MODEL Model ID to use instead of auto-detecting the
[AGENT] first available Llama model. Set by ingest when
[AGENT] the participant selects a model in the picker.
[AGENT]
[AGENT] HAL_AGENT_MODEL_CTX_WINDOW Context-window size (tokens) for the chosen
[AGENT] model, sourced from the platform's Redis model-
[AGENT] info cache. Used to tune MAX_OBSERVATION_CHARS
[AGENT] so individual shell outputs never overflow the
[AGENT] model's context.
[AGENT]
[AGENT] All three vars are optional. When unset the agent behaves identically to
[AGENT] samples/test-agent-llm.
[AGENT]
[AGENT] Like test-agent-llm, this agent supports both structured tool calling and a
[AGENT] hand-rolled Thought/Action/Action-Input text protocol so it works with any chat
[AGENT] model (Gemma 4, Qwen, Llama, Claude, Mistral, GPT, etc.) that can follow plain
[AGENT] instructions or emit native tool tokens.
