rail-fence

A type of transposition cipher is the rail fence cipher, which is described here. Here is one such cipher encrypted using the rail fence with 4 rails. Can you decrypt it?

So, you can use an online tool like herearrow-up-right, or you can actually follow the wikipedia page it gives youarrow-up-right, or you can play around until it works:

T     a     -     _     7     N     6     D     4     9
 h   l g   : W   3 D   _ H   3 C   3 1   N _   _ A   9 7
  e f   - s   H R   0 5   3 F   3 8   N 4   3 D   7 B
   -     i     3     3     _     _     _     N     6

The flag is: WH3R3_D035_7H3_F3NC3_8361N_4ND_3ND_4A76B997

So the flag is picoCTF{WH3R3_D035_7H3_F3NC3_8361N_4ND_3ND_4A76B997}
