BYTEQUEST Round 2: "Vidya-Vaibhav" - IoT

In a world where technology governs everything, a critical system called Nexus controls global communications, transportation, and security. Nexus ensures that the world operates smoothly, but recently, a cyber-attack has crippled its systems. A team of elite technologists is assembled to restore Nexus before it's too late. Your mission is to navigate through the remnants of Nexus, solving puzzles, decoding messages, and repairing systems to bring the world back to order. Each question you solve brings you one step closer to restoring Nexus.
