    Wait actual winner took 20 minutes... damn I could have gotten it :neutral:

    Yeah I wasn't exactly that fast. I'm kind of surprised no one else managed to crack it before me, though I guess it's a bit quiet at the moment.

    Once I had gotten the discount code I spent at least like a minute trying to figure out what service I was gonna get (because I hadn't thought that far) :joy:

    A fun little cipher game is now live on the main page! The first person to crack it will unlock a 75% OFF for life coupon โ€” valid for a one-time use only. Valid for one customer only. Hurry up and try your luck! Valid for almost every product we offer except VPS-1, VPS-2, and the dedicated server grab bag deal.

    A rate limit is in place. Text contains "FAT32" as a hint.

    Main Page

    Fun challenge! Now I need to figure out what to do with this :sunglasses:

    In case anyone is wondering how the cipher was solved, a little bit of luck and bruteforcing was definitely involved. I'm still fairly amateur when it comes to CTF challenges.

    Quick writeup in spoilers below:

    Cipher text: SW-T-OEYL2AELWAA3FV
    Hint: Decrypted text includes FAT32 - This gave me something to look for when messing around.
    Tools used: CyberChef
    Looking at the ciphertext, my first thought was ROT13 (sometimes referred to as "Caesar cipher"), but without much luck there. I didn't see anything that grouped the numbers "3" and "2" in "FAT32" together with just regular ROT13.
    After looking around on CyberChef, I noticed a cipher called "Caesar box cipher". While I've dealt with Caesar cipher/ROT13 before, "Caesar box cipher" was new to me. It was mostly luck that I saw it and decided to try it.
    With "Caesar box cipher" on CyberChef selected, I simply incremented the "Box height" until I hit box height: 7 and saw this result: SYAWLA-23TAF-EVOLEW - Notice the "23TAF" in the middle, which is FAT32 backwards.
    From there it was simply just reversing the text, which gives the result: WELOVE-FAT32-ALWAYS. Now I might have done something wrong or misremembering, not sure, but I think the actual code to be submitted on the Nuyek homepage was actually: WE-LOVE-FAT32-ALWAYS
    Once submitted with the correct code, I got the discount code: FAT32-FLASH-75-OFF-LIFE - Which is what I used when ordering :)
