Challenge Description:

The bots were able to encrypt their secrets but we found that they were owned by bot3. Are there some traces of human-readable text?

Solution:

blah blah login with previous flag

Once we're logged in, we can see a file called random-secrets that is quite huge. Reading this file confirms that there are many random strings in the file.

Since we know that the flags for this CTF starts with CDDC21{, we can simply grep it from this file.

And we found the flag!

Flag:

CDDC21{gRe3EpL1nG}
