# P.W\.N. University - CTF 2018
**Thinking out of the box**\
No advanced programming technique is required to solve the following CTF problem
## JavaScript
```
var http = require('http');
const crypto = require('crypto');
var url = require('url');
var fs = require('fs');
var _0x86d1=["\x68\x65\x78","\x72\x61\x6E\x64\x6F\x6D\x42\x79\x74\x65\x73"];
function generatePart1() {
return
{
x: crypto[_0x86d1[1]](8)
}[x].toString(_0x86d1[0]);
}
function generatePart2() {
return [+!+[]]+[!+[]+!+[]+!+[]]+[!+[]+!+[]+!+[]]+[!+[]+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]+!+[]];
}
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
passwd = generatePart1() + generatePart2();
var url_content = url.parse(req.url, true);
if (passwd == url_content.query.passwd) {
res.write(fs.readFileSync('flag.txt', 'utf8'));
} else {
res.write('');
}
res.end();
}).listen(8888);
```
{% embed url="" %}
## **Python**
```
from flask import Flask, request, send_from_directory
app = Flask(__name__)
passwd = open("/opt/passwd.txt").read()
flag = open("/opt/flag.txt").read()
@app.route('/')
def index():
userpw = request.args.get("passwd", "")
if userpw == passwd:
return flag, 200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"}
else:
return ''
if __name__ == '__main__':
assert(len(passwd) == 3)
assert(passwd.isdigit())
app.run()
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:
```
GET https://calvin-lai.gitbook.io/calvin-lai-security/ctf-writeup/p.w.n.-university-ctf-2018.md?ask=
```
The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
