Scenario

A fictional feed of geotagged posts. Filtering to the leader reveals a location that repeats at night — the hideout — and his last post from there leaks the flag. All data is invented.

What you are looking at

You download osint-posts.zip with feed.csv: columns author, timestamp, location, text.

Goal

Pin the hideout by pivoting on the leader location and read the flag from his last post there.

What counts as solved

You enter the correct flag.

Method checklist

Tick each step as you work through it. The steps are the method, not the answer.

Read the flag from his last post there.
