Nintendo Base64 (300pts)

Aliens are trying to cause great misery for the human race by using our own cryptographic technology to encrypt all our games. Fortunately, the aliens haven’t played CryptoHack so they’re making several noob mistakes. Therefore they’ve given us a chance to recover our games and find their flags. They’ve tried to scramble data on an N64 but don’t seem to understand that encoding and ASCII art are not valid types of encryption!

Invitation (325pts)

Last night I received an invitation, but after I accepted, some weird things happened in my computer.

Download the Word file invite.docm and open it using Libre Office. Click on menu Tools -> Macro -> Edit Macros. Select invite.docm/Project/Documents Objects/ThisDocument. The macro code gives errors. Fix them by creating a Main sub. Modify the macro to write the code in the document that would be executed by the shell command (and comment the shell execution).

Alien complaint form

The Aliens found a cool new security feature called CSP and have since implemented it into their HR Complaint Form. There are reports that any issues reported by humans are not taken into account and instead deleted. The Human resistance has left a backdoor in the website that can be used to acquire sensitive information from the Aliens. Can you find it?

Download the code. We can find information from index.js

We can obtain the list of complaints accessing http://165.227.231.249:31714/list.html or calling the API
