## Description
|
|
|
|
Do you remember the flag in the teaser website?
|
|
|
|
## Solution
|
|
|
|
Sadly, the teaser website isn't online anymore. If only someone kept an archive of the internet. This is where the Wayback Machine on [archive.org](https://archive.org/) comes in handy.
|
|
|
|
So, let's use the Wayback Machine to get the teaser page. <https://web.archive.org/web/20201112020839/https://adventofctf.com/>
|
|
|
|
When we take a look at the source html of the page we find the following comment:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<!-- Ceasar worked on this you know. Tk9WSXtIRVlfMVNfVGgxU19AX0ZsYTk/fQ== -->
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It looks like some encoded string. If you've been doing CTFs for a while you'll probably recognize it's encoded in `base64`. We can use the program `base64` to decode this string.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
> echo "Tk9WSXtIRVlfMVNfVGgxU19AX0ZsYTk/fQ==" | base64 -d
|
|
NOVI{HEY_1S_Th1S_@_Fla9?}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We found the flag! It's `NOVI{HEY_1S_Th1S_@_Fla9?}`.
|
|
|
|
This flag can then be submitted for the [challenge](https://ctfd.adventofctf.com/challenges#0-1).
