This challenge really annoyed me. It turns out I found the flag quite quickly (it was the first social media I checked) but for some reason the flag I entered was rejected so I went on a massive wild goose chase.
I even installed social mapper and spent about half an hour trying to get it working (it keeps failing).
Eventually, as I was about to call it a day, I retried all the flags I’d collected and this time the first one worked.
Just got this, didn’t take me long but shame about all the people messing with the LinkedIn page throwing people off. Keep looking if you find the wrong flag.
Fun challenge, would have been very easy to look over had I not seen the comments. Hope that isn’t too much of a hint or a spoiler but once you come across it, it’s a dead give away. Props to the people who found it before all of that.
Am I the only one who prefers the rabbit holes?
Putting the pieces together I had a theory that I was following. unfortunately it was not the real way :(. it would have been much more compelling…
The only hint here is ‘search and look for every information in every social for every member’ the flag is pretty clear… (if don’t work the first time try the ‘all zeroes strategy :P’)
Make sure you check all social media sites. Bear in mind there’s a bunch of people working for Evil Corp LLC, and any of them might have useful information.
Make sure you look everywhere in posts you find
Once you feel you have the flag; if it still doesn’t get accepted… remember the “all zeroes” tip.
I found some parts of certain social media sites required login when I was using a VPN (NordVPN in my case) but were accessible without the VPN.
I solved it but only saw one “fake flag” and have no idea what the “all zeroes” tip is about, so I’m not sure I solved it the same way as everyone else If anyone wants to DM me to explain that I’d appreciate it. Proof I solved it should be here: https://app.hackthebox.eu/users/activity/482422
