--[ Recon / Initial Analysis ]--
This page imports the BYUCTF 2025 source material for the OSINT challenge
Universal-ty. The prompt is kept separate from the solve notes, and upstream
artifacts are linked so the challenge can be replayed from the original
repository.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
--[ Vulnerability / Observation ]--
The useful observation comes from the imported solve notes below. I kept the
original technical path intact while normalizing the page metadata, challenge
grouping, and author attribution for the Volume 2 writeup archive.

1. Figure out where I lived in high school (Indiana). Very simple OSINT.
2. Find nearby schools that you could visit and come back from in a single day.
3. Look at maps of those schools and find the right place.
