Digital Footprint 1

Digital Footprint 1

  • Your first mission is to find the precise coordinates that indicate the target's location in the provided image.
  • The submitted coordinates must be precise with exactly 6 decimal places after the decimal point. So the flag format must be as follows:
  • Xpand{##.######,##.######}
  • Xpand{latitude,longitude}
    • Note: We will not disclose the target's name because we want to test your OSINT skills and your ability to track him down using the provided information.
