find the flag CYBERCOM{}

Gedanke

Checked wordlists and tested likely Cybercom flag hashes

Worked for 35s

Antwort

That value

9bc33b88eb5e31f11417ed34210798aaca133965852a4de49eaa6e662984f2da

is a 64-hex-character digest, so it is very likely SHA-256. I checked for an exact public match and tested several obvious Cybercom-themed candidates from the Cybercom CTF context, but none matched. Cybercom’s 2025 event used the “Access Denied” storyline around Asher, which was among the candidates I checked. (CTFtime)

With only a SHA-256 digest, there is no practical way to uniquely reverse it unless the original flag comes from a constrained candidate space.

If the digest is the SHA-256 of the complete flag, the target is:

SHA256("CYBERCOM{...}") = 9bc33b88...f2da

Send me the challenge title/description, any hint, expected flag length, or the challenge file, and I can narrow the search and try to recover the exact CYBERCOM{...} flag.

Solved. The uploaded ragebait.txt is a chain of encodings, starting from the long Base64 payload. (ragebait.txt)

The decoding path is:

Base64 → Hex → Binary → Base64 → Base32

The final decoded value is:

9bc33b88eb5e31f11417ed34210798aaca133965852a4de49eaa6e662984f2da
