OSINT - Location

Hints:

Solution:

First of all, I searched for Evan Williams

<br/><br/> <br/><br/>

<br/><br/>

That's interesting, I might need to search in Twitter, Blogger or Medium.

<br/><br/>

And I have something in the description that looks like a username (blogpost1).

<br/><br/>

So, I searched for blogpost1 in Twitter, Blogger and Medium.

• I didn't find anything in Twitter.
• In Blogger, I found an old blog, from 2005, so it's not useful.
• In Medium, I found something interesting. (https://medium.com/@blogpost1) <br/><br/> <br/><br/>

<br/><br/>

<br/><br/>

<br/><br/>

So, what I need to do is to find the name of the hotel he is staying at.

Also, he said that it will take approximately 5–6 minutes for him to reach the hotel from that store (Bonanza Gift Shop).

<br/><br/>

Using Google Maps, I found a hotel called The STRAT Hotel,

and it takes approximately 5 minutes to reach from Bonanza Gift Shop to that hotel.

And that was the flag.
