Title: Hometown Hero 1
Description: Last year, famed BYU student Cameron Snider tormented you all with his OSINT challenges. He thought it was at least midly amusing, and wants to do it again. Lets start with an easy one. What is the city and state (in America) that Cameron Snider grew up in?

--[ Recon / Initial Analysis ]--
This page imports the BYUCTF 2026 source material for the OSINT challenge
Hometown Hero 1. 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.
