Stegnography -

Kings of Kings
I cannot recall when shelley published this poem. The Flag in not the
date! But the date is the password!

so I just typed the full poem on the web

It showed 1977 on https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46565/

ozymandias

So just used stegsnow . Why because its the only thing that can hide data in
ASCII .

Zipocalypse
Directly download the le and use strings command on it .
you will get asfhqp{m1cc3q_o0zo5} in the last line . Then using rot 13
nfsudc{z1pp3d_b0mb5} you will get the answer.

COLEZ HISTORY

1. When was it rst established?

2. When did the name "LNJN NICFS" came into existence?
3. When did it become a formal NFSU Campus?
It was simple I guess

ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES , YOUR HONOUR!

It was Sridharan something on the honours board I don’t remember , and the
date was 26072013.

When I put in decod.fr it shows base 64 encoded. So I decoded it . I received

By Analysing I think you can see some juicy thing written in bold letters .

By again analysing it shows a ne cipher then doing brute force .

This challenge was interesting but when you see the picture carefully
you will see some black birds In front of, which is part of bird on a wire cipher

__r=1.39750efe85960b9a21c18965fb2eec3a

You can visit the url and you will get the answer
something techiebirds were coming ,
hell I just have to take my eyes out by looking and doing it correctly

 Enigma of Achievement
I dont think anything else is necessary I don’t directly get this, I just used
decode.fr analyser again and again.

 MAZE
Again the same thing use decode.fr to analyse it you will nd ook .

from there you will get

MTA5IDExNyAxMDQgMTAyIDExOSAxMjAgMTIzIDcxIDQ4IDcxIDUyIDc5IDk1ID
gzIDUxIDUyIDg3IDUyIDg4IDgzIDUxIDEyNQo=

from base 64 will produce

109 117 104 102 119 120 123 71 48 71 52 79 95 83 51 52 87 52 88 83 51 125

Which then converting to ascii give something muhfwx{G0G4O_S34W4XS3}

then apply brute force a ne cipher you will get the answer
A=25,B=2 nfsudc{T0T4L_H34D4CH3

 I used rst exiftool but didn’t nd anything interesting
then I used le command nd something juicy that it is compressed and lzma
compressed data, used chatgpt to nd command to decompress it , got xz
command , then used strings on blooper

Directly download the le and used strings on it got the ag .

 LOST TUNES

Zip le was given, used autopsy to nd the deleted les there were 17 before
les and found new deleted 4 les .

which were 5h1vm - invitation something then used exiftool and in comment
some encrypted data was there . By using that used base 64 two times got
