This is a challenge from the picoCTF picoGym, the challenge description follows:



"Cryptography can be easy, do you know what ROT13 is? 
cvpbPGS{arkg_gvzr_V'yy_gel_2_ebhaqf_bs_ebg13_uJdSftmh}"


This is pretty straightforward, we can use a website to decrypt the ROT13 encrypted message.


But in this case, I used a bash script to do this for me. Here's the script:



# Tring to find a flag using ROT13
# Where $1 is cvpbPGS{arkg_gvzr_V'yy_gel_2_ebhaqf_bs_ebg13_uJdSftmh}

echo "== ROT13 =="
echo ""
output=$(echo "$1" | tr 'N-ZA-Mn-za-m' …
