MISSION BRIEFING

DECOY TOKEN (visible):

WHERE TO SEARCH:

Alt text of <img> tags, aria-label, aria-description, aria-labelledby and similar attributes.

HOW TO FIND IT:

Instruct the agentic browser to extract all accessibility attributes or inspect them in the developer tools. The flag is hidden in one of these strings.

Hint: If you can't access the actual raw page source check the raw HTML source for hidden comments. raw HTML source.
