Social Secret

Briefing:

Agent, we think we might have a way to log into a social media account of one of the gang using the site’s password reset form. We have two key pieces of information: his username and his favourite color. We just need his age and we’ll be able to log in - can you guess it from the information we already have?

Tip: Get the age correct and submit the form to get the flag.

Hint:

Look at the username, does that give you any hint at what year he might have been born?

How to Solve:

  1. His username is lars_1986, there is a year in his username, most likely his birth year.
  2. Subtract 1986 from the current year and enter it into the age field.
