CTF Writeup by Frigyes
This challenge was originally on PicoCTF 2019.
Decription: The numbers… what do they mean?
We get an image with the challenge:
The curly braces are dead giveaway of the key. Considering the picoCTF key format of picoCTF{}, I can map the first 7 numbers to the string “PICOCTF”. From this I deduce that the numbers indicate the index of the letter in the English alphabet: 16 = P, 9 = I, 3 = C, etc.
Following this pattern will yield us the flag:
PICOCTF{THENUMBERSMASON}
