PicoCTF2018 - Miscellaneous - environ

Objective:
Sometimes you have to configure environment variables before executing a program. Can you find the flag we've hidden in an environment variable on the shell server?

Solution:

So let's just print out the enviroment variables and see what we see

oh, the flag is literally the first output

@pico-2018-shell:/problems/grep-2_0_783d3e2c8ea2ebd3799ca6a5d28fc742/files$ printenv
SECRET_FLAG=picoCTF{eNv1r0nM3nT_v4r14Bl3_fL4g_3758492}
FLAG=Finding the flag wont be that easy...

Luckily at the bottom the page we see who is listed as on the twittter feeds @ringzer0CTF and @ MrUnik0d3r lets check if we can find the PGP for MrUniK0d3r online. I googled PGP and MrUn1k0d3r The very first result is his PGP keybase.txt with his PGP at the bottom of the file is the flag FLAG-7A7i0V2438xL95z2X2Z321p30D8T433Z
