  • Description: Just a phrase: Everything is about Alter.

🔎 Solution​

For this challenge, the goal was to collect information about the user Alter.

On HackMyVM, user profiles can be accessed through:

https://hackmyvm.eu/profile/?user=<username>

Visiting https://hackmyvm.eu/profile/?user=alter, I noticed the profile used a Discord-style avatar along with a numeric string: 1262786228110229630.

This looked like a Discord user ID. Using Discord ID lookup tool to look it up returned the username lokolwdf.

After opening Discord and checking the account details, I found references to other linked platforms such as YouTube and LinkedIn.

Searching for lokolwdf on LinkedIn led to a matching profile:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/alter-ego-003280321/

The flag was located in the About section of that LinkedIn page.
