The Online Odyssey [N00bz CTF 2023]
Description
My friend blackhat_abhinav gave me a ctf challenge and told me that the challenge is full of mystery and he wanted me
to solve the mystery and get the flag. Can you help me to get the flag?
Flag format:- n00bz{fl4g_h3r3}
Solution
The most important information we have is the username blackhat_abhinav so let’s start our research with this
username.
When I have to work with username I really appreciate to use the following website: https://whatsmyname.app/ but
unfortunately
I did not find any results for the username blackhat_abhinav. My second resource is the following
website: https://www.aware-online.com/en/osint-tools/username-search-tool/.
My first reflex is to check this username for the social media such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and GitHub.
I am lucky, I found the Instagram account of the user blackhat_abhinav:
From the instagram account we can get following information:
- Discord

- Website https://abhinav.abhinavkumar65.repl.co/
But wait…
What is the secret ? Let’s click on it.
We see the following comment:

Ok, the @ suggests that it is a Twitter account. Let’s check it.
I see that the most recent post has an alt attribute.
BINGO we go the flag n00bz{gr0tt4_1sl4nd_1s_4_n1c3_pl4c3_t0_v1s1t}.
