Challenge Description

Can you tell where we last celebrated New Year's?

The flag is the city name in English spelling.

Flag format: 1753c{cityname}

Provided Image

Step 1: Checking Metadata

As usual, I started with exiftool to check if there was anything useful in the image metadata.

Unfortunately, nothing special came up in the EXIF data.

Step 2: Reverse Image Location

The tool quickly identified the location as Larnaca.

Step 3: Submitting the Flag

Based on the result, I submitted the following flag:

1753c{larnaca}

Correct!

Final Flag

1753c{larnaca}

Next, I used my favorite OSINT image tool:
