Given code is in braille ,we decoded, and it gave us Ram_Nandan_IAS,and we found a twitter
account with that name, in that we got a string, we decoded using baseX64, we got the flag

string found: e2lfYW1fdW5kZWNyeXB0YWJsZX0=

Flag:h4cktf1{N33DH41RY4NN1CH4MP3BH4Y4M4VUTH41TLUD3V4R4}
3.Smuggling
First keep the given string in Enigma Machine, we got a baseX64 string,

we did the baseX64 on the string again and again unit we can't anymore, at last we got the
string
"NovemberThreeThreeDeltaHotelFourOneRomeoYankeeFourNovemberNovemberOneCharlie
HotelFourMikePapaThreeBravoHotelFourYankeeFourMikeFourVictorUniformTangoHotelFour
OneTangoLimaUniformDeltaThreeVictorFourRomeoFour"

and using NATO Alphabet Decoder, we decode above string and got the flag

Flag:h4cktf1{N33DH41RY4NN1CH4MP3BH4Y4M4VUTH41TLUD3V4R4}

4.INVENTOR OF HTML
Just did chatgpt to find the name,got it ,and placed it in flag format

Flag:h4cktf1{solid}

6.The Rebel's Hidden Path


Adding ‘/wow/’ to the given web URL, we get the encrypted string.
Decoding the string using Base64 we get the flag:
h4cktf1{st3ph3n_r0b3r7_4n73_3v4ru_052011}
7.Goodachari
Using the giving the public and private keys and RSA Decryption we obtain the flag

flag:h4cktf1{1k4_m0dh4l3d4dh4m4}
9.Music
Used Cipher-identifier and found the string is in periodic table cipher,`

using periodic table decoder, we got the flag string, which we placed inside given flag format.

flag:h4cktf1{DAMMUNTEPATTUKORASHIKAWATU}

10.STAMP
Gave the Base.txt file to ChatGPT, it gave us the flag
flag:h4cktf1{2022-11-10_17-10}

11.Mod37
Used a simple python script to decode and find the flag

executed and got the string

flag:h4cktf1{4TLUNT4DH1_MANTH0N1}

20.VNR PLACEMENTS
Used wayback machine to see the past snapshots of the vnrvjiet.ac.in website in 2010, and

In this following webpage: Protein BLAST: search protein databases using a protein query we entered the
Query Sequence given in the question. After searching through its database, it gave the result as Musca
Domestica with most similarity to the given sequence. Although the flag: h4cktf1{Musca_Domestica} was
our first submission due to some technical error we had to get it rectified by the coordinators and finally
got the flag accepted.

we used this as the password for the for the file protected.zip
which gives us the base64 encoded string and later decrypting it gives us the flag,
h4cktf1{r3b3l_ant3_st4r_3_r4_st4r_ant3_r44j3_r4_r3b3lst4r}
30.Sanivaaram
as we can see that the zip file is password protected

so to crack the password we thought to use john the reaper command in kali linux(
john | Kali Linux Tools )

but after reading the question carefully they specified the word with double quotations
“saripodhaa”.

so we tried it for the password and the file got unzipped

leaving us with the ClubName.txt file

when i opened the file


this seemed like another cipher so we used the website - Cipher Identifier

this was what we found - the ‘Duckspeak’

so we started decrypting the txt

found another encrypted message

we did the same with this lang ad found this

‘Pikalang’ it is so we tried decrypting again


repeating the same

this must be the last time with ‘Deadfish Language’

yes it was the last time and we got the flag : h4cktf1{1r0nh1ll}

31.RANGASTHALAM
Given location ibaraki-Japan, so searched for top ibaraki universities
