Google CTF 2018
OCR is Cool
Caesar once said, don’t stab me… but taking a screenshot of an image sure feels like being stabbed. You connected to a VNC server on the Foobanizer 9000, it was view only. This screenshot is all that was present but it’s gibberish. Can you recover the original text?

I unzip the attachment and it is a picture of mail.
Question of title is the OCR is Cool so that, I use the OCR and this OCR must be tesseract 🙂 You can download tesseract use the
sudo apt install tesseract
But first I scale up the image because of the OCR may not conver to small character
convert image.png -scale %300
You can use above command for the scale up
After OCR txt file is like above.
In the question ceaser keywords past, caesar is one of the encyropter app in linux. You can download ;
sudo apt install bsdgames
In Linux, I don’t know why rot32 and Caesar don’t work so that I switch Ubuntu. When I looking up the text file VMY{blablabla} looks like the answer
I decrypted this text and I pretty sure the this is my answer.
But OCR did not work perfect, I write the code manually and 7. text is correct !! 🙂
