I’ve gotten bored of handing out flags as text. Wouldn’t it be cool if they were an image instead?

solution

1. ssh -p 64695 ctf-player@atlas.picoctf.net
2. ls
  • you find the QR code in this

3. zbarimg flag.png

zbar-tools is a Linux package that lets you scan and read barcodes or QR codes directly from the command line.

It includes tools like:

✅ zbarimg → scans QR codes/barcodes from images (PNG, JPG, etc.)

✅ zbarcam → scans QR codes/barcodes live from a webcam
