Hackpack 2020 Sound CTF Writeup
This challenge was among the most cheeky challenges of all running in the misc category
Took me several days to finally join the pieces together as we are given a Wave media file by name Scottie.wav ……. listening to it gave beep sounds at intervals like a transmission which led to me deciphering the transmission as Slow Scan tv (SSTV)
Now i had to decode that and two tools came to my mind …. Qsstv for linux and rx sstv for Windows …….
and here is the solution using Qsstv install it via
sudo apt update && apt install qsstv
opening the wave audio file gave as the flag and there we got our flag
flag{th1s_1s_sl0w_me3ss@ge}
that gave us 100 points
the mode of transmission however was not Scottie as the name but actually robot36
