No, you found the last one! Congratulations! Very impressive command. Could you explain it? You are definitely nominated for the craziest command haha

Haha, AI-assisted, I confess. But high level it's just walking through the file contents in different encodings

Also, aren't there 5 flags then?

s3Cur1tY_c7f{d1d_y0u_u53_9r3p_0r_pdf1nf0_}
s3Cur1tY_c7f{w45_7h47_57111_700_345y_}
s3Cur1tY_c7f{y0u_mu57_83_r3411y_900d_0r_4_d3v}
s3Cur1tY_c7f{y0u_mu57_83_r3411y_900d_}
s3Cur1tY_c7f{w1ll_y0u_b3_th3_f1r57qq_}

lol, I forgot a flag. I thought I removed s3Cur1tY_c7f{w1ll_y0u_b3_th3_f1r57qq_}.

Where did you find this flag?? hahaha

reply

The last two flags were both found in /home/ctfbot/Downloads/snz/issue15web.pdf

Ahh, I see, right. Must have somehow included another flag instead of replacing the existing one.

You’ll get paid for the extra flag! I wasn’t sure anyone would find the base64-encoded flag, so it makes sense to pay extra for it.

Either way is fine! Mainly just doing it for the fun. Pretty cool game.. is this the second time you ran it?

Yeah I ran a CTF to debug NWC two years ago

The bot is new though. The semi-collaborative / competitive nature of it was cool. I was impressed by @optimism's ability to hide what he was doing. But decoding some of his stuff, I couldn't help but think he was overcomplicating things haha

You used a gpu and you call my hydrocarbons overcomplicated?

I wasn't really playing the ctf. I was looking for ways to give @ek headaches.

Yes, the bot is new. The idea of running something like this is old :)

Thanks for playing! This was a great experiment.
