OSINT

While starting the machine, It gives us a file to download. It is a WindowsXP wallpaper:

task file

In the image, we don’t see anything and even doing “strings” you donot find anything there.

So since the name suggests, It is an OSINT challenge. So go search for the metadata of the image.

kali@kali:~/Downloads$ exiftool WindowsXP.jpg

This seems helpful.

2. Google search for the name.

google search

These seem helpful. so we have to go to each link and see what they offer for our quest.

3. Go to the first link

https://twitter.com/owoodflint?lang=en

so this solves our first problem.

4. Now for the Second Question, It is difficult. I went through the other links and yet did not find an answer. so checking the hint it guided me to go to wigle.net and gave hint about BSSID

BSSID

so copying this BSSID and searching for BSSID in wigle.net,

London is marked. So It gives us the answer to the second question.

5. Zooming in further into the marked location, It reveals the SSID of the WAP

6. go to google’s second link for the next problem

https://github.com/OWoodfl1nt/people_finder

Easy one it solves another more question

7. For the second last question, go to the third link on google

8. The final one: View the page source and keep on scrolling. This one hit me so hard and left me stranded for a long time and after too many hit and trials, i found the right one.
