Blink

Description

Get past the Jedi mind trick to find the flag you are looking for.

We are provided with a blind.apk file.

On installing the app on a mobile, we see this:

Then I used apktool to decompile it.

apktool d blink.apk

Going into the smali folder created by apktool

blink/smali/com/example/blink

There’s a `r2d2.smali` file. Inside there’s a string of base64 encoded image.


I saved the string to `blink_r2d2.txt`

cat blink_r2d2.txt | base64 -d > flag.png

On decoding the base64 string, and we get an image and the flag.
