It was a good challenge Frey.
The difficulty as brainf*ck is way off. I would say its somewhere in the middle.
The thing that got me a little bit was with the flag lowers/uppers. But now Frey cleared that up.
In case he was not clear: Flag is all lowercase.
Canāt really quote you all up so iāll say it here.
@alamot You just overthinked to much, when there was no need to obviously.
@w31rd0 You donāt, and i never said that you need to know previous challengeās thatās why i said cause we saw it and did it plenty of times on another challenges too.
it was a reference to guide you towards using lowercase,therefore you better start doing some actual CTFāS to train yourself up better rather than doing the easy ones on HTB, no hard feelings but yeah. Iāll suggest you catching up the PicoCTF
@Rayz Thanks for enjoying the short journey, if you have watched the show no wonder you found it easily, as about the flag yeah cleared that out on alamots comment.
Done.
After reading the thread, I have to say I canāt understand the hateā¦
Maybe it should be in the Misc category, since it is not all stego.
But other than that, guysā¦ give @Frey a break
It is a challenge of intuition but it is difficult without seeing the comments of this thread
At first I thought that the letters in the image was something basic and it did not matter, but after reading Freyās comment I managed to solve it
An interesting challenge @Frey
Thanks @samsepi0l for the nudge! I think I aged a little googling about the binary code.
Because there are 2 binary codes. Totalled by the challenge @Frey
Solvedā¦ but its the best stupid chall i never seen so far! i donāt understand how a āguessing challā like that is accepted by hack the boxā¦ but nvm, just a lost of time

lol ā¦ Best reply ever
Any more hints for this please? My brain starts to hurt now
Iām stuck and overthinking this challenge anyone can help. The comments donāt help
@Frey The second part of this puzzle is quite time consuming. Iāve essentially been building my own wordlist from related terms so I can crack this puppy open. Iām up to 500 variations of words/phrases.
Any chance you could narrow the focus either here or in PM?

I canāt really give out much, the thread already spoils almost all the steps on it. Never the less the last step requires some basic keywording searching imo. To narrow it down for you the first searching is your flag. How to mega spoil into your own challenge
Nice challenge , Flag submission was the hard thing
Well, I think that pretty much about flag submission is the real brain ā ā ā ā thing with this challenge. I already (think) have the flag, but Iāve tried almost all combinations I can think of, and still not accepted. Thay may perfectly be itās wrong or something XD.
I feel really stupid, can someone check on my flag? Itās a message all lowercases with spaces and / \.
Thanks in advance,
EDIT: donāt mind me. Solved XD.
This was really easy. If you guys need help DM me.
Here you have a writeup:
