[Write-up] CyberSoc | Life Online | growingup

In this write-up I will be explaining how I solved the challenge growingup of the CyberSoc CTF | Cyber Detective. The challenge windows displays the following information:

Once again, all we have is James Markson's Twitter profile. The challenge is asking us the place where James spent his childhood. In other words, the place where was raised, not necessarily where he was born. This reminded me of a not-so-common profile bio that I saw the first time I visited James' profile. He used a combination a 3 words separated by a dot with each one having 3 slashes at the beginning. That was a kind of word combination/encoding that I have never seen before.


My first move was to Google those terms and see if the results contained any clues that could indicate a place/location. After spending some time searching for them, I didn't find anything relevant enough to tie them to a place in the map. So I decided to go back to the Twitter profile and do the same thing I did in the previous challenge (voteforme) - browse and analyze his tweets to check if he publicly leaked at least his birth place on some comment.

There was a super interesting tweet indeed which I haven't seen with the same eyes and attention previously. James retweeted a publication by an app Twitter profile named what3words which claims to be the simplest way to talk location. In this moment I quickly correlated this feature to the strange pattern containing an encoded location in his profile bio.


Accessing what3words' website there it was - the same pattern. 3 slashes at the beginning followed by 3 words separated by a dot.


Now everything becomes easier. All I had to do is search for those terms in his profile bio in the what3words' website. First I tried the birth place and then finally the place where he was raised.



And this is was how I got the flag. I hope you enjoyed. :)
