# OSINT - Christmas

## Solution:
The right corner in the bottom of the challenge image is interesting:
That's called DotCode
Search for DotCode scanners, and you will find some online tools, for example: (https://manateeworks.com/free-barcode-scanner)
The decoded string is: **78 57 54 67 101 100 53 90**
Those are ASCII codes.
To convert them to characters, you can create a simple program to do that, or you can use online tools.
```C++
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int arr[8] = {78 , 57 , 54 , 67 , 101 , 100 , 53 , 90};
for (int i=0 ; i<8 ; i++)
cout<<static_cast<char>(arr[i]);
return 0;
}
```
After converting the ASCII codes to characters, you will get: **N96Ced5Z**
According to the hint, you need to "paste" this string: **N96Ced5Z**...
And if you try pastebin, you will get the flag. (https://pastebin.com/N96Ced5Z)
