Key Takeaways

this is a video right up for the challenge Caesar salad from hack on 2018 John's prompt here is can you toss Caesar salad and it gives us this code here then we can copy and paste into our terminal and go ahead and work with so based off the challenge title we can assume this is a Caesar cipher so you can use the utility rot13 on linux and just pipe the input as a string into it with echo it gives us the flag just like that dark get good caesar code and that is the flag format for this competition the flag wrapped inside these curly braces and then the flag format with dark coat and leet-speak surrounding it so if you don't have Rod 30 installed you can app to install it sudo apt to install bsd games of the package for it you will need enter your password to borrow root privileges for that time period but that is simply how to install the tools rot13 and caesar and some other things so let's go ahead and actually make it get flag script out of that we could submit it for points if we wanted to however the competition is currently over but we can still take note of the challenges I know I'm a little bit late and releasing some of these but just like that we have our get flag script and we can mark this challenge as complete I want to give a quick shout out to the people that support me on patreon thank you guys so so much you are phenomenal $1 a month on patreon will give you a special shout out just like this on every video $5 or more on patreon will give you early access everything there at least on YouTube before it goes live I would love to see you in our discourse server link in the description please check that out if you want to play other cts with us it's an awesome community of CF players programmers and hackers also see in the next video
