Challenge LAB: OSINT

Difficulty: Medium

The first thing to do in this kind of OSINT challenge is to read the description carefully and note the important things that can be used to find the flag.

Important things : Roland Sanchez Birmingham UK

The second thing to do is to find the person using the information we have been given.

After several rabbit holes and research I found nothing from the first search so I decided to analyze site by site so as not to miss anything.

So starting with the first search which is a Linkedin link we can notice that there is nothing special and we can quickly believe that it’s a random guy.

But to make sure I didn’t miss anything I looked for the name of the place where he works “Egotistical Bank” on Google.

By looking at the Twitter account found, we can notice that they are subscribed to the Hack The Box Twitter hummmm!!! xDD

After looking for what Foursquare was doing here I understood that the flag would surely be there.

Using a little Google dorking we find the flag !!

yaaay ! xD

I hope you enjoyed, it’s a pretty easy OSINT challenge but it was fun to do it !!!

Happy Hacking ❤
