This ‘where are the robots’-Challenge belongs to the category web exploitation and is worth 100 Points. That’s quite a lot!

The website itself looks clean and repeats the question from the title of this challenge. – Where are the robots.


The first thing that comes into my mind when reading this is the robots.txt that exists on the most webpages to manage the several webcrawlers out there.
By visiting the robots.txt we get another hint:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /8028f.html

As we see the disallow-segment and remember the hint “Where the creator doesn’t want you to look” we should try to access the disallowed /8028f.html
Yep. That’s a bingo! This site contained the flag.

Quite easy for 100 Points.
