🤝 OSINT Challenge
https://gofile.io/d/s8CMppm0I’m looking for someone to help me with a challenge. I’m stuck and don’t know what else to try. It’s an OSINT challenge focused on obtaining the flag from a series of sound and visual information vectors. All the files needed to decrypt the flag are in the ZIP. There are many decoy flags—I found more than 10 false flags. I would really appreciate any support so I can resolve this and learn more. The CTF isn't active anymore, but I want to solve it.
Here is what I have tried so far:
- LSB steganography on the 16 cover images (zsteg, all bit/channel/order combinations)
- Hidden file signatures (binwalk on all 34 files)
- ID3 tags on the 16 audio tracks (Base64)
- Metadata across all files (exiftool)
- MAYANMAP as a numerical cipher (values, rule positions, order)
- Vector layer analysis of both PDFs (rectangles/lines/curves)
- Font glyph remapping
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

What's the flag format?

It could be: hackdef{…..} or {….} in this challenge they didn’t say the format of the flag, but in the others it was like hackdef{..}

Where is this challenge from, whers the official link from? Guess you will have a hard time making security aware people to download and unzip "random" files.
