Using Web Proxies - Encoding/Decoding

[WandaCC]

I am using burp suit to decode a string for the answer for the question. The hint they provided me was use base 64 and URL-encoding. I have opened up burp suit and selected the decoder section however when I ended up decoding it I am suppose to get the flag and I don’t.

My question is, Is the URL-encoding the same as the decoding it? Does the hint imply that I must decode in base 64 then encode it in URL-encoding to get the flag? I have tried doing it both ways where I do decode in URL and encode in URL and still don’t receive the flag. Or must I go back and forth long enough between decoding and encoding from base64 > URL-encoding to receive the flag?

Can anybody here give me a hint please?

Thank you.

I had the same issue with encoding in Burp when switching between different proxy setups. What helped me was setting manual encoding/decoding steps depending on the URL structure and making sure headers weren’t getting double-encoded. If you're testing a lot or facing IP blocks during recon, it makes a big difference to Buy Rotating Proxies so you don’t get rate-limited or banned mid-session.
