Encrypted string: j3qrh4kgz3iptmyqxcw0zkm8i5xugs5lwl0lrwvirwktlqinexcw0zkmq5nqvpebpor5wqipqhw2ikzm4ipktzlr1. We were presented with an encoded string of characters that we needed to decode to reveal the flag.2. After analyzing the string, we determined that it had been encoded using a cipher.3. We realized that the cipher used was the Vigenere Cipher, which requires a key to decode the string.4. We used a Vigenere Cipher decoder and discovered that the key for the cipher was EMINENCESHA.5. With the key in hand, we were able to successfully decode the string and obtain the flag.
