# TAMUctf 2019 - Misc - All challs excluding Onboarding Checklist
## Howdy
Welcome to TAMUctf!
This year most of the challenges will be dynamically scored meaning the point value will adjust for everyone, including those have already solved the challenge, based on the number of solves.
The secure coding challenges will appear when you have solved their corresponding challenges.
If you have any questions or issues feel free to contact the devs on the discord.
Good luck and have fun!

## I heard you like files.
Bender B. Rodriguez was caught with a flash drive with only a single file on it. We think it may contain valuable information. His area of research is PDF files, so it's strange that this file is a PNG.
**Solve**

(I tried to grep for the flag before, but nothing brought the flag to us)
In word/media we have other png file, it's not necessary use binwalk, even if it's not a simple png again, just:
cat image1.png
In the end of the file:
ZmxhZ3tQMGxZdEByX0QwX3kwdV9HM3RfSXRfTjB3P30K
Clearly a base64:
The flag is flag{P0lYt@r_D0_y0u_G3t_It_N0w?}
## Hello World
My first program!
Difficulty: medium
**Solve**
We just have a simple C++ program, but with whitespaces before him, looks like a literally whitespace language:
I used this program to translate https://github.com/koturn/Whitespace
After translate in the file we can see the possible flag in table ASCII numbers:
