## Find the flag
**In this challenge, we can download a jpeg [file](https://github.com/siunam321/CTF-Writeups/blob/main/LA-CTF-2023/Misc/CATS!/CATS.jpeg):**```shell┌[siunam♥earth]-(~/ctf/LA-CTF-2023/Misc/CAT!)-[2023.02.11|12:15:00(HKT)]└> file CATS.jpeg CATS.jpeg: JPEG image data, Exif standard: [TIFF image data, big-endian, direntries=12, manufacturer=Apple, model=iPhone SE (2nd generation), orientation=upper-right, xresolution=192, yresolution=200, resolutionunit=2, software=15.5, datetime=2022:06:17 12:52:05, hostcomputer=iPhone SE (2nd generation), GPS-Data], baseline, precision 8, 4032x3024, components 3```
**Now, we can use `exiftool` to view it's metadata:**```shell┌[siunam♥earth]-(~/ctf/LA-CTF-2023/Misc/CAT!)-[2023.02.11|12:15:35(HKT)]└> exiftool CATS.jpeg                                       [...]Sub-location                    : Lanai Cat SanctuaryProvince-State                  : HICountry-Primary Location Code   : USCountry-Primary Location Name   : United States[...]Country Code                    : USLocation                        : Lanai Cat SanctuaryLocation Created City           : Lanai CityLocation Created Country Code   : USLocation Created Country Name   : United StatesLocation Created Province State : HILocation Created Sublocation    : Lanai Cat SanctuaryCity                            : Lanai CityCountry                         : United StatesState                           : HI[...]Thumbnail Image                 : (Binary data 11136 bytes, use -b option to extract)GPS Latitude                    : 20 deg 47' 27.52" NGPS Longitude                   : 156 deg 57' 50.03" WGPS Latitude Ref                : NorthGPS Longitude Ref               : WestCircle Of Confusion             : 0.004 mmField Of View                   : 65.5 degFocal Length                    : 4.0 mm (35 mm equivalent: 28.0 mm)GPS Position                    : 20 deg 47' 27.52" N, 156 deg 57' 50.03" W[...]```
As you can see, we have lots of data.
In the `Location` field, we see: ***Lanai Cat Sanctuary***, which is the image's location!
**Let's google that:**
