The provided audio recording translates to the following:
HERO AGENCY EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEM EMERGENCY LEVEL 5 OF 5 START OF MESSAGE AGENT V5 IS MISSING DO EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO FIND HIM END OF MESSAGE END OF BROADCAST
We know that we have to find a missing agent and, thanks to the introduction text and the audio recording, we know the following information:
- Hero Agency, from which we can deduce that it is an intelligence agency
- Agent v5
With the help of these elements, we can suspect that the Hero Agency is in connection with the HeroCTF and thus that visiting the site would be a judicious idea.
If we go to the website of the HeroCTF, https://www.heroctf.fr/, there is a page called “About” with all the people behind. From here, we can focus our attention on SuperSaragora and its biography.
As a proud Breton, my colleagues call me pemp.
The words “Breton” and “pemp” must intrigue: By searching what is the signification of “pemp” in Breton (which is a language for the French region called Bretagne) we can find that it is the breton’s word for "five".
We now know that the colleagues of “SuperSaragora” call him five in Breton and that we are searching for the agent v5 of the Hero Agency.
The information matches so SuperSaragora is our agent and the first flag is found.
