###Solves
- >Solves: 252
- >Points: 84
###Description
Some paths are left deliberately unvisited, shielded from the spider’s web. But what’s intentionally hidden often holds the most valuable secrets.

###Approach
- >Clue Interpretation: The description hinted at something hidden, and the mention of a "spider’s web" pointed towards
robots.txt—a file often used to block web crawlers from accessing certain parts of a website. - >Checking robots.txt: Based on the clue, I visited the
robots.txtfile at: http://microson.ctf.site:20080/robots.txt. - >Hidden Endpoints: Inside the file, several endpoints were listed, and one stood out as particularly interesting: http://microson.ctf.site:20080/top_secret_experiments/.
- >Flag Extraction: Upon visiting this endpoint, I found a file named
flag1.txt, which contained the flag.
