## WriteupI opened `flag.txt` and got absolutely pwned :(```If you opened this then you are a n00b```
From the hint, we can see that the uppercase letters are telling us something.It seems this encrypted text is in base65536. [Here](https://www.better-converter.com/Encoders-Decoders/Base65536-Decode)is a link to a decoder. After decoding, we get the following output:```flag 1:Yjod od s lrunpstf djogy vo[jrtyrcy jrtr od upi g;sh xj4t-}U-i+dit4+

Looks like we know what to do now!

**Flag 3:** [Spoon Cipher](https://www.dcode.fr/spoon-language)```_411_7h3_ski115}?```
Combining the flags together gives us the flag.
