base64 :)

Hey! Idk if its my fault or not, but when I decode strings output from base64 to plain text, I got the same information as in the ShahOfGimli challenge

good one

Leaving a fake flag is devious

Hopefully they are so simple that it's obvious it's a fake flag.

easy

use strings tool it is easy or maybe use the file to get the encoded comment

base 64 you know

Not a fan of fake flags

Can't believe I fell for the decoy. Good challenge.

Huge + for decoy, haha

Thanks... this is a pretty simple problem so hopefully the decoy is pretty obvious :-)

False flags don't feel good unless you clearly make it so that people know. This could hurt beginners, so yeah

It's such a simple problem that the false flag just makes it a little more difficult.

Real flag is beside the Fake flag!!!

Probably should be marked as 'medium' as it requires a couple of steps, especially since the flag is fake, which for newbie like myself makes for a fair bit of wasted time. If you want to use a fake flag, us it to give a hint...the decode was far from obvious

It was kinda hard! Try learning base64 decoding

imagine the file command is enough to solve the challenge for me
