Writeup for Trackdown (OSINT) - 1337UP LIVE CTF (2024) 💜

Challenge Description

There's a fugitive on the loose and we need to track him down! He posted this to social media recently, do you know where he took the photograph from? If you can provide the precise building, we can move in 🚔

There we go! We find the correct location. That was an easy one 😁 Terrible, rip-off bar BTW - do not recommend. There's an amazing place round the corner that does a delicious pho cocktail 😋

Note, a lot of people confused what the photo is of and where the photo was taken from.
