I have recently participated in a CTF competition and failed in the following stage where the solution was never revealed.

After a really hard job I got access to a text file that contains a really strange set of letters which should guide me through the next stage.

Some of the text is:

OOOMoOMoOMoOMoOMoOMoOMoOMoOMMMmoOMMMMMMmoOMMMMOOMOomOoMoOmoOmoomOo MMMmoOMMMMMMmoOMMMMOOMOomOoMoOmoOmoomOoMMMmoOMMMMMMmoOMMMMOOMOomOo MoOmoOmooOOOmoOOOOmOomOoMMMmoOMMMMOOMOomoOMoOmOomoomOomOoMMMmoOmoO MMMMOOMOomoOMoOmOomoomOomOomOoMMMmoOmoOmoOMMMMOOMOomoOMoOmOomoomoO MoOMoOMoOMoOMoomOoOOOmoOOOOmOomOoMMMmoOMMMMOOMOomoOMoOmOomoomOomOo

Any ideas of what I can do with it? I am really interested in learning new things and knowing how this should have been solved

It appears to be COW.

COW programing language

The COW programming language is an esoteric programming language created by Sean Heber in 2003. It is a Brainfuck variant designed humorously with Bovinae in mind. COW has twelve instructions (four more than Brainfuck) and is Turing-complete. Most instructions are moos, only the capitalization varies: mOo, moO, mOO, Moo, and so on. MMM, OOO, oom and OOM are the exceptions. All other character combinations are ignored and treated as comments.

Here is Javascript Interpreter for COW, COW Interpreter

Your sample translates to "t", just the letter t.

  • @user245607 That second part is a simple caeser cipher with a shift of 24

  • @user245607 - as nobody stated, it's ROT24 (a.k.a. Caesar shift 24) and decodes to: my username is DuckyDebugDuck, find me
