Plenty O Fish in the Sea

Challenge

You have embarked on a quest to find the One Bit! Your first step is to find the scattered pieces of the treasure map on this here abandoned island!

lost_map.zip

Point = 50, Level = Easy

How I got the flag

  • I extracted the zip file and there was a log file inside it. I opened the log file in text editor and there was so many texts.

  • There are exactly 18531 lines in that file. Interesting thing is most of the lines are common and duplicate.

  • So I searched for a line and replaced with empty string. After repeating this several times, there is nothing left except the flag.

  • Now I replaced all the newlines with empty string in VS Code and now parts of the flag got closer to each other.

  • It is an URL-encoded string. Here, %7B represents { and %7D represents }. Similarly, %21 represents !, %40 represents @.

  • I decoded the string to normal text and got the flag.
