Money Flowz [OSINT]

maybe not that one…

I never used E***m but with a quick search about how a transaction works gave me a direction to solve the challenge.

i would like a nudge on initial steps… i found eth and a Vb eth address tr profile and personal page but that seams to be a rabbit hole… i dont understand how ppl an call the ‘10 clicks’ ‘super easy’, i also dont get the hr hint, i found some n**w stuff and guess thats also a rabbit hole ?

its really that simple.

if you found the correct wallet, all you have to do is literally look where the money flowz

finally found it, my hints: search (engines and functions) fail often, and pages suggest that they show all while there is more below that they hide…

super helpful hint. thank you

Just solved it. Fun learning experience :smile:
A small hint just in case anyone makes the same mistake I did - pay attention to how i***t d**a is constructed, you might be closer than you think.

Yes or no question. Do I have to decrypt any code in this challenge?

There is a difference between decryption & decoding

@sparkla there’s no need to create accounts for this challenge.

I used a search engine plus some advanced search filters which will bring u to some site that is fairly indicative that the user on the site is who you are looking for

@sparkla you can use https://osintframework.com/ as a checklist.
Remember search engines sometimes are biased to fit “your interests” so, searching without being logged in will help you (there are tools for that in osint framework). Also using search engines like duckDuckGo helps to perform non biased searchs.

Hey , what is the flag and where is i didn’t find this…

Got the flag.
pm if you need help.
how easy is it? : I found it using my phone’s search engine
hint? : any search engine will help plus your guy is a hustler
not even 10 clicks are required

Very interesting challenge, thank you.
Please message me if you need assistance.

Notes:
Use the correct search engine
He is a hustler
Do not avoid hex values
Default is not always great…

I can’t say anything else because that will spoil the fun.

Not to add anything else but this is spot on, I solved it yesterday after looking at the final step for days without a clue…

I can’t access reddit because of the way my computer and network are configured. Does this prevent me from completing the challenge?

@REDJIVE it can be solved without reddit.

Nice challenge, but easy with great search! Feel free to send me PM :wink:
