Using web.archive.org, we can see previous captures of a given site.
https://apporima.com/
has two captures, one on 9th May 2020
, and another on 18th April 2020
.
Seeing as this challenge appears to be themed around going back in time, 18th April
seems far more interesting to us.
There is a blog post in the April capture, missing from the most recent version which reads: "Today, I created my first CTF challenge.
The flag can be found at forward slash flag dot txt." If we visit https://apporima.com/flag.txt
, we get a 404 message, but putting the URL in web.archive.org
shows a capture in April which will give us the flag.
