Ninjaprime
My flag seems to have been scattered across Youtube! Can you find it and piece it together for me? Starting link: https://youtu.be/wKz32opINzo
Link2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1OGNSLqnZI
Tìm các link tiếp theo rồi tìm ra flag dạng LITCTF{....}

Investigating video clues
I’m trying to determine whether the linked videos contain accessible clues, but the available pages show little direct content. I’m considering alternate public references while avoiding unsupported assumptions about what the videos contain.

Solving the challenge
I’m piecing together the YouTube trail: the first links are labeled “quest1” and “quest2,” while direct pages reveal little. I’m looking for accessible metadata or thumbnails to identify the remaining links and reconstruct the flag.

Assembling fragments
I have confirmed the first two quests and extracted seven color-coded Base64 fragments from quest1. The description points to quest2; I’m now tracing every next link and preserving rainbow order for reconstruction.
Tracing remaining quests
I’m continuing from quest1’s fragment set and checking publicly indexed traces for quest2 and later videos. The Base64 arrangement remains uncertain, so I’m avoiding a premature flag reconstruction.

I’m treating quest1’s fragments as partial evidence only. Quest2’s description remains inaccessible, and neither the complete link chain nor final Base64 ordering is verified yet, so I can’t responsibly state a flag.

Testing network access
I’m checking whether direct connectivity works despite DNS limitations. If it does, I can retrieve each quest description, follow the links, collect all fragments, and test plausible Base64 arrangements for the flag.

उत्तर
Mình chưa thể đưa ra flag chính xác mà không bịa dữ liệu.
Những gì đã xác minh được:
- Quest 1:
https://youtu.be/wKz32opINzo - Quest 2:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1OGNSLqnZI - Mỗi quest chứa 7 mảnh Base64 theo thứ tự màu: đỏ → cam → vàng → lục → lam → tím → hồng.
- Quest 1 có các mảnh:
textqxU bUB sGd bPA mrT MTa Q==
và dẫn tới Quest 2. (GitHub)
Mình không truy xuất được phần description động của video quest2 trong môi trường hiện tại; các giao diện thay thế và endpoint metadata đều bị YouTube hoặc lớp mạng chặn. Vì Link 3 cùng những mảnh còn lại chỉ nằm trong description đó, dữ liệu hiện có chưa đủ để tái tạo đáng tin cậy chuỗi LITCTF{...}. Ghép riêng bảy mảnh Quest 1 cũng chỉ tạo dữ liệu nhị phân, không phải flag hoàn chỉnh.
