+## Description
+
+When files are included things can get real messy. The flag is in flag.php.
+
+Visit <https://10.adventofctf.com> to start the challenge.
+
+## Finding the vulnerability
+
+When opening the website we get some text but it is not really useful. So let's go to [`/flag.php`](https://10.adventofctf.com/flag.php) because the description told us the flag is there.
+
+When opening `/flag.php` we get a message "You are on the right page, but you cannot see what you want yet. Go get promoted!". Hmm, let's take a look at the cookies.
+
+We find one cookie: `zeroten=eyJwYWdlIjoibWFpbiIsInJvbGUiOiIxMmRlYTk2ZmVjMjA1OTM1NjZhYjc1NjkyYzk5NDk1OTY4MzNhZGM5In0%3D`. this looks base64 encoded, so let's try to decode it:
+
+```bash
+echo -n "eyJwYWdlIjoibWFpbiIsInJvbGUiOiIxMmRlYTk2ZmVjMjA1OTM1NjZhYjc1NjkyYzk5NDk1OTY4MzNhZGM5In0=" | base64 -d
+```
+
+```json
+{ "page": "main", "role": "12dea96fec20593566ab75692c9949596833adc9" }
+```
+
+We see that we have a `page` and a `role`. Let's try to replace modify `page` to "flag".
+
+```bash
+echo -n '{"page":"flag","role":"12dea96fec20593566ab75692c9949596833adc9"}' | base64 -w 0
+> eyJwYWdlIjoiZmxhZyIsInJvbGUiOiIxMmRlYTk2ZmVjMjA1OTM1NjZhYjc1NjkyYzk5NDk1OTY4MzNhZGM5In0=
+```
+
+We changing the cookie to the new value we get.. nothing... After going back to the home page, we get the text of `/flag.php` so this is probably Local File Inclusion. Let's take another look at the `role`. I don't recognize the format so let's try our friend Google.
+
+It looks like it is the `SHA-1` hash of "user". We could try to replace the `role` with the `SHA-1` hash of "admin". We can use an online sha1 converter to do this. The output is `d033e22ae348aeb5660fc2140aec35850c4da997`. Now we base64 encode this and put it back into the cookie.
+
+```bash
+echo -n '{"page":"flag","role":"d033e22ae348aeb5660fc2140aec35850c4da997"}' | base64 -w 0
+> eyJwYWdlIjoiZmxhZyIsInJvbGUiOiJkMDMzZTIyYWUzNDhhZWI1NjYwZmMyMTQwYWVjMzU4NTBjNGRhOTk3In0=
+```
+
+## Solution
+
+If we now reload the home page, we're greeted with the flag: `NOVI{LFI_1s_ask1ng_f0r_tr0bl3}`.
+
+This flag can then be submitted for the [challenge](https://ctfd.adventofctf.com/challenges#10-11).
