Getting closer with openssl after this challenge :) Really nice one !

Too much guessing...

You can google the solution, there are writeups available. It's not meant to require guessing, but you have to interpret the false flags as hints. You can also read through these comments for hints.

I keep getting bad decrypt for the third comment block when I use openssl. Can someone help

You can google the solution, there are a few out there.

it was very funnn, but in the end i used a write up just to make the way clear, is this considered cheating ?

Everyone's experience level is different... but the more you work through any CTF challenge on your own the more you learn.

Lovely challenge, truly crafted with care. I rarely comment, but you more than deserve me to take my time and appreciate your work. The fake flags are not something that I really dislike any more, but I once hated them. This challenge warns us, and that is fantastic. Could be even better if they were formatted diferently, maybe as CLUE{} of CTFclue{}.

Again, thanks for your work

Thanks, this was a fun challenge to create.
