I’ve just finished setting up Newport blakes LinkedIn! I hope I didn’t give away too much personal information in my profile. Someone might even be able to find a flag hidden in there.


After a bit of searching on Linkedin, I found that searching for Newport ctf returned a suspicious profile with an “experience” of NBCTF.

Scrolling down his profile, I found the following project:

Flag Designer for Newport Blake CTF
Jun 2023 - Present
In charge of designing flags for newport blake's CTF.
Check out some of my work:

Checking out the link returns an image that has nbctf{fake_flag} but also a very odd title, i.e. 68747470733a2f2f696d6775722e636f6d2f612f734f7469345248. Isn’t that hex?

A hex-to-ASCII converter returns another imgur link, this time with the flag!
