UIUCTF 2024 — Night

That was quite a pretty night view, can you find where I took it? Flag format: uiuctf{street name, city name} Example: uiuctf{East Green Street, Champaign}

Some words are blurred out to make the challenge harder, hopefully.

Flag format clarification: Use the full type, e.g. Avenue, Street, Road, etc., and include a space between the comma and city name.

We're given this photo of a street at night:

Through a quick reverse image search, we can conjecture that the building in the back is the Prudential Center tower in Boston.

Looking at the area on Google Maps,

we can notice a few things:

• The tall Four Seasons hotel is farther away than Prudential tower in the image, so we're looking at Prudential from the east.
• There are train tracks to the left in the photo.
• There's an overpass in the photo, and the photo is taken from above (eg. another overpass further to the east).

Searching for train tracks to the east of Prudential, we find the exact perspective of the photo (and the flag):
