HINT: everything you'll need is in the first four lines of the file

Learning new things, Thanks

You're welcome.

pretty hard for beginner

its med , not easy .. but still good challenge , using google and programming skills to get the flag .. tools not working this time .

i don't get it , i got the xor bla bla bla but wrong..why

nice use of base64

a little bit easy

You can use for cyberchef for this. Nice challenge, thanks

I really don't understand. I decoded the 2 b64 strings then I tried xoring the first one with the second string but I don't get the expected result. I get something like "tln{ndalfBibBagis"... Which is close to Gandalf Is Big or something like that...

You are close... the flag starts with CTFLearn{... xoring is the correct thing to do after you convert the b64 strings to raw bytes

why raw bytes

It shouldn't be in EASY category

MADONNA PUTTANA how the fuck did you do it

Wow, it was a great challenge, but I think it shouldn't be marked as 'easy'

Glad you liked it.

should be medium

This challenge really is a reminder to not overthink things and take every little step.
