Challenge Description: Join our Discord and find the flag!
This was the absolute first and most beginner-friendly challenge of the competition. Most often a challenge like this isn't really a challenge but a free flag and sanity check to make sure you're ready to participate. This one is incredibly easy, but I figured I would document it anyway.
The challenge simply asks us to visit the competition's Discord server and find the flag that's waiting there.
After joining the event Discord server, I could see a very obvious flag channel. Once in the channel, I found they were using the same flag from 2021. Easy points!
Submitting the flag gave me my first points in the competition:
FLAG: DawgCTF{3nj0y_th3_c0mp3t1t10n!}
Lesson: Always check the obvious places first! Sometimes the easiest challenges are just meant to get you familiar with the competition environment.
