Challenge from: picoCTF 2022
Hints:
1. What is the web inspector in web browsers?

Theory

According to the description, to get the flag we have to inspect the HTML of that website, we don't get any more info on it, so let's just go to the website already.

Solution

So we'll open the website:

Nothing of interest in here, so let's go to the view source and see if there's something in there like mentioned before:

Yup, the flag is there, in a comment, great. So the flag from the image is:

picoCTF{1n5p3t0r_0f_h7ml_fd5d57bd}

There we go! That's the flag.

I rated this level as "good"! :3
