VG8gYmVjb21lIGEgZ3JlYXQgaGFja2VyciwgeW91IHRvbyBtdXN0IGxlYXJuIGFsbCB0aGUgZW5jb2Rpbmcgc2NoZW1lcwpBbHNvIGEgZmxhZyBtaWdodCBiZSBoZWxwZnVsOgpjdGZ0ZWNoe2Jhc2U2NC1pcy11c2VmdWx9
Solution
This task was very straightforward and the above base64 string when just encoded got the correct flag.
echo 'VG8gYmVjb21lIGEgZ3JlYXQgaGFja2VyciwgeW91IHRvbyBtdXN0IGxlYXJuIGFsbCB0aGUgZW5jb2Rpbmcgc2NoZW1lcwpBbHNvIGEgZmxhZyBtaWdodCBiZSBoZWxwZnVsOgpjdGZ0ZWNoe2Jhc2U2NC1pcy11c2VmdWx9' | base64 -d
To become a great hacker, you too must learn all the encoding schemes
Also a flag might be helpful:
ctftech{base64-is-useful}
Tools
- echo
- base64
Flag
ctftech{base64-is-useful}
