LinuxLockpick GITEX Global CTF writeup

I’m happy to announce that I was representing my organization in GITEX Global CTF made by CTF.ae, the challenges were quite interesting and challenging however in this writeup you will see some simple solves and they grind in difficulty on your way up. Happy reading!

Challenge #1 :

Solving this was quite easy, with logging to SSH and listing the files and finding the flag.

Challenge #2 :

Solving this was quite easy too, logging with SSH and listing the hidden files

Challenge #3 :

challenge description : This file is filled with a bunch of text! Can you filter it to find the flag?

Note: Think about what word is always common in the flag format.
Solving this challenge was also easy, it was using `cat` and `grep` commands with common words.

cat no_flag_here | grep “flag{“

Challenge #4 :

in this challenge we had a ELF Binary that had file called jailbreak with 4 digit pin code.
the pin code was guessed easily
simply Leet code : 1337

Challenge #5 :

hidden file, solution :

`cat ._`

Challenge #6 :

Challenge description : I found this file but I don’t know what it is or how to open it! Can you figure it out and get the flag?

the solution was to change the file name to filename.gz and then using the `gzip -d` command to uncompress
