Meet the Next Black Panther

From defending the people of your kingdom day and night, this role will require the best of you technically, professionally, mentally, and more.

With the knowledge and skills you gain, this can be more than just a new career; you can change the world.

Are you ready for the challenge?

In this activity, you will find four flags (and an optional bonus flag) hidden somewhere within the website. Each flag will include a random word. Keep track of the random words. You will submit all words in the next item.

1. The first flag is hidden in the site's source code. Use the View Page Source feature to find it. If your right-click is disabled, copy and paste this into your web browser:

view-source:https://CodeCrew-CodeSchool.github.io/esd/site

2. In the source code, there is a style.css file. Search this file for the second flag. Take note of the web address of this file. How is it different than the original website?

3. In the source code, there is also a script.js file. Search this file for the third flag. Look at the web address here as well. What is the only part of the address that is different in each file?

4. Lastly, there is another file that is NOT listed on the website or in the source code. You can only access this file by typing it in the web address bar. To find this file, unscramble the following word and place it in the web address in the format shown:

5. Advanced Bonus Flag (Optional): Right-click on the image of the cat and save the file to your desktop. Open the file with a text editor (either Notepad on a Windows computer or TextEdit on a Mac). Find the bonus flag!

  1. Create an Account
  2. Set up 2FA
  3. Fork the Repo
  4. Clone the Repo
  5. Review and Save Your Changes
  6. Push/Update Your Changes

After completing steps 1-4, create a file called Submission.md to keep track of your findings as you hunt for each flag. Make sure that you include the 5 flags you've found, and the answers for each of the reflections from the README.md file.

Use Visual Studio Code to send your updates back to your Github repo.
