Introduction

This challenge is an OSINT challenge from the PWNME CTF.

Context explanation

John Droper is a Franco-British individual who leaves an enormous digital footprint.

(Note: He speaks both English and French, and some information can only be found through one of these languages.)

Directive

You have to find one of his main social media

Solution

So here we only have one information about the person, his name. So we will have to search for it on the internet.

Since we have to find a social media, I first checked if he had a Facebook account. I searched for his name on Facebook and found a profile with the same name and a sketchy profile picture.

By looking under the about section, we can see in the details that there is the flag.
