The chall gave us some parameters (p, q, e, c), from which we we inferred this is an RSA chall. The whole point is how to code the decryption algorithm
Wikipedia's RSA page is very illustrative. In order to decrypt all we need to do is:
m = c^d % n
Where
phi(n) = (p-1)*(q-1)
e*d = 1 % phi(n)
The difficult part was to compute *d*. For some reason (???) we could not find a trivial python3 module for computing numerical stuff. After checking the code recipe at Wikibooks we got the flag.
