Theory

According to the description, to get the flag we just need to enter to a NetCat, which is really simple, we just need to input the nc command and put the server followed by the port all separated by space. So with the stuff they give us, we get this command:

nc jupiter.challenges.picoctf.org 64287

Solution

Now we just need to enter to the NetCat by using the command from before:

shukularuni-picoctf@webshell:~$ nc jupiter.challenges.picoctf.org 64287
You're on your way to becoming the net cat master

There we go! That's the flag.
