Challenge Overview
Connect to this PostgreSQL server and find the flag!
psql -h saturn.picoctf.net -p 51070 -U postgres pico
Password is postgres
Solution
It is known that this is postgres SQL so the commands used will reflect that.
First, it is needed to connect.
psql -h saturn.picoctf.net -p 51070 -U postgres pico with password postgres.
Then I found the syntax to all relations/tables which is \dt command. It is shown that there is a table named flags.
I found two simple ways to output the table flag:
TABLE flags;SELECT * FROM "flags";
This gave the flag in the table.
I then did, \copy flags to flag csv;, which exported the flags table to my working directory. I then used quit to exit psql.
To get just the flag I ran this command:
cat flag | grep -oE picoCTF{.*} --color=none
You could also do it this way:
cat flag | grep pico | cut -d "," -f4
Flag: picoCTF{L3arN_S0m3_5qL_t0d4Y_31fd...}
