Next we moved on and tried next a web challenge. For this challenge we got a website which shows us already the flag format with according to the text is not the right one. But we don't fall for such simple tricks and tried it on the angstrom website. Yeah it was wrong but you never know in times like this with all the misinformation's.
After a closer look we could see that a javascript file is responsible for quickly changing the context of the site and the hint in the exercise also suggest to watch a certain DOM object to get notified when it gets changed and you then can just print out the flag. Too easy.
So first lets have a look on this nice javascript:

```js
const _0x15c166 = _0x43fe;
(function (_0x20ab81, _0xdea176) {
const _0x3bb316 = _0x43fe,
_0x25fbaf = _0x20ab81();
while (!![]) {
try {
const _0x58137d = - parseInt(_0x3bb316(212, 'H3tY')) / 1 + - parseInt(_0x3bb316(215, 'nwZz')) / 2 + parseInt(_0x3bb316(225, '%[Nl')) / 3 + parseInt(_0x3bb316(214, 'ub7C')) / 4 * ( - parseInt(_0x3bb316(231, '3RP4')) / 5) + parseInt(_0x3bb316(217, '9V4u')) / 6 + parseInt(_0x3bb316(223, 't*r!')) / 7 * (parseInt(_0x3bb316(207, 'SMMO')) / 8) + parseInt(_0x3bb316(226, '6%rI')) / 9 * (parseInt(_0x3bb316(230, '3RP4')) / 10);
if (_0x58137d === _0xdea176) break;
else _0x25fbaf['push'](_0x25fbaf['shift']());
} catch (_0xa016d7) {
_0x25fbaf['push'](_0x25fbaf['shift']());
}
}
}(_0x4733, 708077));
const x = document['getElementById'](_0x15c166(229, 'q!!U'));

Yeah way to complex to deobfuscate it for an easy challenge. So based on the fact that i have bad Screen with some delays in the framerate why not just use that to make a video to see what the value would be ♡^▽^♡.

Just to make it easy for everyone we caught it right at 5 seconds so for mplayer it would be:

And for everyone who does not want to type it out: actf{sp33dy_l1ke_th3_fl4sh} . That's not the intended way but way funnier.
