Art

HTB Content Challenges

I know it is a fairly new challenge, but any of you have a hint on “Art”? (Misc. challenge) for a 20 point challenge, I feel like I shouldn’t be this stumped. I have tried going through the code of the image, only to find It was made in PS and such, so I went from there with photoshop yet I have found nothing. Any help is appreciated!

having troubles too:

! i binwalked it, and got 2 zip-compressed files, which is maybe sth totally normal for png files?
! i wrote a script which gave each color a letter, then i tried some basic decipher stuff like ceasar - but then again i noticed that the pattern of the letters/colors doesnt look like it could resemble language

It’s 100% normal for PNG files to show up in binwalk as Zlib compressed files, since that’s the compression algorithm the PNG format uses.

Stucked here too…hint on any direction in wich to go ?

also stuck, tried to count distinct colors with python, looks like there’s 18-19 of them, doesn’t even amount to alphabet.

maybe it’s a flag like a country flag? but colors doesn’t resemble any known flags.

a nudge in a right direction would be greatly appreciated…

This is a really simple challenge once you know what it’s about. I can only say that in the world there are many programming languages, even crazy ones, go look for them!

thanks! solved in a second!

Great hint : :+1. Same as above

I just finished this puzzle a minute ago. JChris’s hint is spot on. Possibly into spoiler territory. That being said, you still have to figure out how to extract the flag so maybe not such a spoiler after all :smiley:

Have the flag but it says it’s incorrect, is there something extra to do with it?

17

still i stuck . i do not know in iam in right way or not ? i try find color number

I have to say, this is a very esoteric challenge to me. I never would have got this without a clue. I forgot about “Art” for awhile, & thought it was Stego category challenge.
