This is the toughest recon that I have ever seen (or in other words the worst one :P)
First result that you find when you search for T_1000 is the terminator so I tried all the names related to the movie such as the director, the producer, the actor who acted as the T_1000 but no result 🙁 I have also tried skynet which is considered to make the terminator in the film 😛 my team mate was kidding saying to enter the flag as Rajinikanth 😀
After asking admins about the challenge, I have concluded that T_1000 was not related to movies 🙂
My team mate solved the forensics-500 which relates to the channel #nitk-maliciousbots which contain the bot named T_1000 , so I thought this was end of the recon so I tried to get the flag by asking the bot in private message, but this was only the half of the challenge 🙂
Again from the clue whois T_1000, the output of the whois command in irc is as follows
@31337_h4X0R (cinch@2a01:7e00::f03c:91ff:fe56:df09) BOT_T_1000 is connected via holmes.freenode.net (London, UK) Operator in: #nitk-maliciousbots
so we got a new thing to google for 🙂 ie.. 31337_h4X0R, it seems that 31337_h4X0R has a twitter account here is the account https://twitter.com/31337_h4X0R
This account has very few tweets and it contain this photo
And finally if you grep for the strings in the photo we get the flag as follows
flag{I_am_N0t_Ge0Hot}
