So: guzly-njew-2022-zuxe — still nonsense. thmyl starts with thm (TryHackMe). If thm is plaintext, then cipher preserves first three letters? No — thmyl → maybe thm + yl .
Test awrj ROT13 → nje w → nje not a word. Try Atbash: a↔z, w↔d, r↔i, j↔q → zdiq no. Given thmyl-awrj-2022-mhkr , if this is the flag itself, format could be flag{thmyl-awrj-2022-mhkr} . thmyl-awrj-2022-mhkr
t (20) + 22 = 42 mod 26 = 16 → q h (8) + 22 = 30 mod 26 = 4 → e m (13) + 22 = 35 mod 26 = 9 → j y (25) + 22 = 47 mod 26 = 21 → v l (12) + 22 = 34 mod 26 = 8 → i → qejvi — not English. thmyl-awrj-2022-mhkr ROT13: thmyl → guzly awrj → nje w (nje w?) — Actually: a→n, w→j, r→e, j→w → njew mhkr → zuxe So: guzly-njew-2022-zuxe — still nonsense
Check yl → could be yl ROT? y→? If y→l (shift -13?), l→? Not consistent. Often in beginner CTFs, thmyl is just thmyl = thm + yl (yl = “young learners” or just filler). But awrj and mhkr — maybe they are ROT13 of actual words? No — thmyl → maybe thm + yl
Or perhaps THM{thmyl-awrj-2022-mhkr} . If you have more context (like what platform this is from, or what type of challenge), I can give a more precise solution. Otherwise, this write-up documents the attempted decoding steps and concludes that the string may already be the flag.
