There is a reference to Google, this can make you think of Google crawlers and lead you to check the site’s robots.txt
file. In fact, a robots.txt file is used primarily to manage crawler traffic to your site, and usually to keep a file off Google (definition found here: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/robots/intro). So the robots.txt file
could make sure that Google does not find this challenge’s flag.
In fact, if we go to https://ringzer0ctf.com/robots.txt, we find the following directory: /16bfff59f7e8343a2643bdc2ee76b2dc/
. Now, if we follow this directory and go to https://ringzer0ctf.com/16bfff59f7e8343a2643bdc2ee76b2dc/, we get the flag!
