From the following code we can assume that the flag is stored in ``flag.php``, also we know its supressing errors by adding the ``@`` symbol infront of ``$_REQUEST['hello'];``, regardless we know we know our attack vector is the parameter ``hello`` and that it's passed inside the ``eval()`` function without being parsed or formatted which is a big red flag.

After sending a GET request with ``?hello=$flag`` we get the response ``string(4) "Nope"``so we can assume that the flag isn't stored in the variable but inside the file.

After this I copied the code locally so I could easier debug it (with error reporting so I could break out of the ``var_dump``. After some tweaking I managed to use the ``show_source`` function to reveal the flag using the payload ``$flag); show_source('flag.php'`` revealing the source code and the flag:
