# HackTheBox-Illumination
We are given an zip archive with the description
```
A Junior Developer just switched to a new source control platform. Can you find the secret token?
```
We can extract the archive through the password which is given to us `hackthebox`

Here we see two files and a folder

This looks like reading from `config.json` and using the username and token from there

The token is removed from this file also the username looks like base64 encoded

Now whenever I come across a `.git` folder I would look for the git commits made so there must be some changes made when someone made a commit , we can use `git log` to list the commits

Here this is the first commit that the developer made , so let's try to see what file he pushed into the repo with that commit
`git show 335d6cfe3cdc25b89cae81c50ffb957b86bf5a4a`

This again looks like base64 encoded text that we can easily decode

And we'll get the flag.
