Scavenger Hunt

There is some interesting information hidden around this site http://mercury.picoctf.net:39491/. Can you find it?

Solution

This challenge was very simple, we have to just see website sourcecode.

in given website source code we find :

<!-- Here's the first part of the flag: picoCTF{t -->

in css file :

/* CSS makes the page look nice, and yes, it also has part of the flag. Here's part 2: h4ts_4_l0 */

Now we have to check ‘ robots.txt ‘ file :

User-agent: *
Disallow: /index.html
# Part 3: t_0f_pl4c
# I think this is an apache server... can you Access the next flag?

we have part 3 of flag and also some hint for part 4,

apache server ???

do you remember something like robots.txt in apache, 😗 it’s ‘ .htaccess ‘ , let’s see what is inside it :

# Part 4: 3s_2_lO0k
# I love making websites on my Mac, I can Store a lot of information there.

now we have part 4 with hit for last part 5, it’s about ‘ .DS_Store ‘ inside that :
