Submit the result in following way:-
HTB{UPPERCASEWITHOUTANYSPACE}
Thanks because HTB says its HTB{plaintext} making me think lowercase.

I am 100% sure I have it but it is not accepting it somehow. I typed it with uppercase and still not working… should I include the symbol or without it? well I actually tried both ahhahaha it makes me go crazy.
Edit: It works! sorry
I feel completely stupid not being able to solve this 10pt challenge …
I know it’s already sad that this is just a scramble problem, but how would I systematically come to this conclusion?
And after that, what would be a systematic way of solving a multi word anagram without natural language processing?
If anyone could PM me with an objective approach I would really appreciate it.
haha i was looking at my text and went , awww cmon, put it ALL together and boom we have a winner
Those comments above are (as usual) incredibly helpful. However, it still bit tricky for a non-native English speaker Do not waste your time with various rotation scripts & tools, pick up pen and paper, write down the file name, then write the “code” under it , check if it not somehow similar … and start scrambling. You can do it It might take you a while, but it is doable.
Ping me if you need hints
It’s an old cipher and one of the most famous. Just google it, i solved it with google.

Think it like a basic interview logic pattern sequence question and you have 1 min time. Pen and paper is enough for this challenge.
Thanks… Better Hint ever!!!
think out of the box Mr.cesar !
Wasted almost hour using different online tools, then used pen and paper and solved it under one minute. You can do it with analog tools.

No tools are necessary. Once you understand the concept, it’s a matter of 5-6 lines of code to efficiently solve this challenge.
Sorry, what code? This confused me first. It is a matter of cracking_the_algorithm to solve this scrambling challenge. Once you know the algorithm, then you can of course write a code. But it’s such a short and simple task, you’d better just walk through and unscramble it manually on pen and paper or use a text editor. I used the vim
editor, I placed each character in one line, making a file of 20 lines altogether. Then I figured out the algorithm after staring at the jumps…I could not believe it was so simple!
I finally solved it. Firstly, I just opened the notepad and tried different patterns. Then, all I needed was this https://www.dcode.fr/
