Similar to the previous one, the
==is a sign of Base64 encoding.Let's decode it using the
base64command.

Because all the characters are capitalized, we can tell that this is Rot47 encoding.
Answer
. .-.. . -.-. --- -- -- ..- -. .. -.-. .- - .. --- -.
. -. -.-. --- -.. .. -. --.
This one is Morse code.
Answer
85 110 112 97 99 107 32 116 104 105 115 32 66 67 68
Because this one does not have any characters, we can safely say that it is not Hexadecimal.
Therefore it has to be Decimal.

This one is encoded multiple times.
In CyberChef, we can pipe our recipes such that the first one's output is the next one's input.
The exact sequence is as follows:
Answer
Task 2: Spectrograms
Download the file
For this one we have to use a Spectrum analyzer tool Audacity, etc.
Answer
Task 3: Steganography
Decode the image to reveal the answer.
Steganography is the method of hiding data or even other files in an image files.
There are other types of steganography as well such as video steganography, sudio steganography, etc.
We can extract the hidden file using
steghide.
Let's read the flag.
Answer
Task 4: Task 4 Security through obscurity
Download and get 'inside' the file. What is the first filename & extension?
We can extract the files inside the image using
binwalk.
Let's list the contents of the
_meme.jpg.extracteddirectory that was created.
Answer
Get inside the archive and inspect the file carefully. Find the hidden text.
If we just run
stringson thehackerchat.pngfile, we will see the flag at the very bottom.
