and if you haven't noticed the challenge name and description give off that this is a RSA algorithm challenge

- $p, q$ large prime numbers
- $c$ is the ciphered message
- $e$ is a part of the public key

now we can easily compute $n = p * q$ and we'll have the public key (e, n)

we can compute phi from $\phi(n) = (p-1) * (q-1)$

and lastly $d$ the modular inverse of $e$ from [`this calculator`](https://www.dcode.fr/modular-inverse)

the decrypted message can be acquired from the following formula:

$$m = c^d \enspace mod \enspace n$$

we have all the required parameters to crack the cipher so plug them into [`this calculator`](https://www.dcode.fr/rsa-cipher)

and u get the flag
