Solution

Remember the challenge chrono, well this also tests the same concept.

1. First ssh to the server ssh -p 56038 picoplayer@saturn.picoctf.net
2. Navigate to root folders cd ../..
3. We see a folder challenge
4. On the folder there is a file metadata.json
5. When we cat the file, we get our flag.
