About the CTF: CyberHeist
One or two things worth remembering for next time.
The challenge
CyberHeist HiveMind(forensic)
First look
Finding the way in
First, We identified three files within the zipfile with type as file that are binary coded.
So, I used powershell to identify the ASCII and Unicode strings inside the binary files.
Then I saw that there are possibility of encoded strings, so i used a chatbot to find the string(Q1lCRVJIRUlTVHtoMXYzX20xbmRfcjNnMXN0cnlfZjByM25zMWNzfQ==) and identified this as a Base64 cypher and converted this into a Flag
The flag
CYBERHEIST{h1v3m1ndr3g1stry_f0r3ns1cs}
What I learned
One or two things worth remembering for next time.
