Challenge Description
A straightforward challenge. First, we download the file using wget <link>
.
Trying Strings
At first, running strings <file-name>
does not seem to reveal any important information. But I was wrong. Upon closer and more careful inspection, I realised that the flag was split and hidden in the html
code. Specifically, it was hidden in the tspan
tags.
Revealing the Flag
The only difficulty of this challenge is to realise that the flag was split into different parts. All we have to do is join “p”, “i”, “c”,“o”, “C”, “T”, “F { 3 n h 4 n ” and “c 3 d _ 2 4 3 7 4 6 7 5 }” and we have our flag.
