How well you know about India?

Resolution

This challenge was not hard at all, it was just really… boring.
By connecting onto the server, we’ve got a prompt that asks us a question about India (capital, official language,etc) :

• If we answer correctly, the server asks us another question.
• If the answer is not correct, the connection is killed and we have to start again from the beginning.

From time to time, questions changed, so we wrote a script that can handle any question order or new questions easily.
The only difficult thing was to find the good anwsers on google.

The flag was flag{saare__jahan__se__achcha}

Here is the script. You can check it a bit, but it’s not very useful ^^
