This problem is worth 250 points in the Misc category. This was one of the tougher challenges in the whole competition with only 5% of teams being able to solve it. I was the 7th to solve this challenge.
## Problem Statement:
The flag is in this format: JISCTF{data-data}
### voice_message.wav

## Solution
We are given an audio file with a voice saying out a bunch of numbers. We can use some online transcription or speech recognition software to get those numbers so we can work with them. Once we have the numbers, we recognize that the numbers are the decimal representations of some ASCII characters.
We can convert from decimal to ASCII to get `LS4uLiAtLSAtLS0gLi0uLSAuIC0tLi0gLl9fX18uIC4tIC4uLi4uIC4gLl9fX18uIC4gLS0tLSAtLS0tLiAuIC5fX19fLiAtIC0tLS0uIC0tLSAuLS4uIC5fLl8uLiAuXy5fLi4K`. It seems like this ciphertext is formed into blocks of 4 which seems to show that we are looking at some Base 64 encoded text.
Decode from Base 64 and we get:
```
-... -- --- .-.- . --.- .____. .- ..... . .____. . ---- ----. . .____. - ----. --- .-.. ._._.. ._._..
```
This seems like morse code but not quite since we have '-', '.', '\_', and ' '. We can convert all the '\_' to '-' because both represent a long tap and may be interchangeable.
We see that the string `.----.` appears multiple times but is not valid morse code for any characters. However, the morse code for hyphen matches the pattern with `-....-`. So, let's flip all the long taps to short taps and all the short taps to long taps.
```
.--- .. ... -.-. - ..-. -....- -. ----- - -....- - .... ....- - -....- . ....- ... -.-- -.-.-- -.-.--
```
We compare this to the table and determine that it is a valid morse code sequence. We decode it to get `JISCTF-N0T-TH4T-E4SY!!`, which is our flag.
## Flag
`JISCTF{JISCTF-N0T-TH4T-E4SY!!}`
