## Background

We have intercepted a message from a suspicious group. Can you help use break the code and reveal the hidden message?

Encryped Message: `JSNRZHIVJUCVIVFCVYBMVBDRZCXRIVBINCORBCSFHCBINOCRMHBD`

NOTE: Make sure you wrap the flag


## Find the flag

Hmm... That message looks like encoded in base32... However, it said "Encryped"...

After fumbling around, I found that the answer is in the challenge's title: "***Afine Cipher***"

> The affine cipher is a type of monoalphabetic substitution cipher, where each letter in an alphabet is mapped to its numeric equivalent, encrypted using a simple mathematical function, and converted back to a letter.

**Then, find a online tool that brute force the encrypted message. I'll use [dcore.fr](https://www.dcode.fr/affine-cipher):**


Found it!

- Flag: `RS{IFYOUAREINTERESTEDCHECKOUTMORECRYTPOCTFSATCRYPTOHACK}`
