Cookies

Description

accounts.microsoft.com

cookies.zip

Given these links with no context, can you find the flag?

Points: 200


Hints to the Solution
  • The cookies zip (quite unsurprisingly) contains many .cookie files! Finding the relevant file though can feel like finding a needle in a haystack.
  • Once you find something interesting, use that to pretend to be someone who you are not to gain access to the site.
Steps to solve

I bet the guy who came up with the idiom "finding a needle in a haystack" would wish he had a tool like grep at his disposal.

  • Use grep to find the relevant cookie
  • Inject the cookie to login to the site ( This may come in handy! )
  • Once you so, you'll find the flag hiding in plain sight
