- Deleted all previous dummy docs (defcon-quals-2024, infra/cloudflare-525, debugging/websocket-timeout, template, docs/*, notes/*, research/*) - Added 14 Gemastik warmup writeups covering encoding, stego, web, pwn, crypto - ch13: RSA small factors; ch14: RSA special integers via paper-search (GCD with paper appendix primes) - All flags recovered and documented with solution methods

Dua lapis encoding berturut-turut: **Hex → bytes → Base64 → flag**:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import base64
|
|
|
|
s = "5230564e51564e55535573784f58746f4d33686662464673645639694e484d7a58324e6f4e44467566513d3d"
|
|
|
|
# Layer 1: hex decode
|
|
b = bytes.fromhex(s)
|
|
# b = b'R0VNQVNUSUsxOXtoM3hfbFFsdV9iNHMzX2NoNDFufQ=='
|
|
|
|
# Layer 2: base64 decode
|
|
flag = base64.b64decode(b).decode()
|
|
print(flag)
|
|
# GEMASTIK19{h3x_lQlu_b4s3_ch41n}
|
