Day 3: Too Much GlItTer

Challenge
Well, well, well, what’s that I see there?

Solution

I can’t tell what the word is due to the font so I ran it through uniname (or just used a serif font)

Clearly GIT relatd and indeed a .git directory exists. wget -r with the git directory and suddenly we have a working git repo! There’s a flag.html file that’s been deleted but it’s empty currently and has some text about it not being deployed yet, so we check the other branches and feature/flag has what we’re looking for!
