Pragyan CTF 2017

"Game of Fame" 50: (Solved)

Problem: "p xasc. a zdmik qtng. yiy uist. easc os iye iq trmkbumk. gwv wolnrg kaqcs vi rlr."

Hint: "Robert Sedgewick"

Solution:

The problem appears to be a substitution cipher. I tried using various cipher methods such as rotation cipher and then kamasutra cipher (which I've never seen before this). I then continued looking at more "classical" ciphers and tried applying the Vigenere Cipher. The Vigenere Cipher requires a key to encrypt and decrypt though. I tried using the CTF's name and out came: AGAMEAMOVIESTARHISWIFENAMEOFTHECSTEXTBOOKTHEWINNERTAKESITALL.

I then looked up Sedgewick and found out he wrote many books, the common theme of which was the flag.

Solution: pragyanctf{algorithms}
