Extract the flag from the Gandalf.jpg file. You may need to write a quick script to solve this.
nice use of base64
a little bit easy
Thanks, this was a fun challenge to create.
challenging
You need to study all 3 comment blocks in the jpeg. One or more of them may be base64 encoded. Good Luck!
The second and third comments are strings that are base64 encoded. Use base64 -d string > file to decode. Note that you need to redirect to a file because the decode generates raw bytes. Do this for the second and third comment to get two files of raw bytes. Then xor is your friend :-)
MADONNA PUTTANA how the fuck did you do it
Glad you liked it.
This challenge really is a reminder to not overthink things and take every little step.
Nice one! Doable without writing a script but it's much better to script it as you learn more about base64, byte and XOR in python (python because I love it).
