How to solve:
We have the name of the hacker: Hamada Elbes.
Let’s start by searching on Google for Hamada Elbes, but we don’t find anything useful. So, let’s try searching on social media platforms.
We found a Facebook link, but it doesn’t seem to be useful. Let’s continue searching by name on other social media platforms.
On Reddit:
We found some users, but none of them is Hamada Elbes. Let’s try Twitter.
Someone claims to be the best hacker in Egypt, but we know that the best hacker in Egypt is Mohamed Mater. So, it seems like this person is lying. hhh

Let’s go back to the hint. He is @Hacker From Egypt
and he could hack the camera in his street
okay so ?
he hacked a camera and he want an ip in the flag

If he wants the camera’s IP, it means that the camera is a public cam. He also mentioned he is from Egypt.
Let’s search for public cameras in Egypt.
The first result looks promising.
We’re on the right track!
Let’s check the camera:

When clicking on the photo, we get the IP of the camera and a login panel.
The flag syntax is {Country_City_ip_of_the_evidence}, so the flag will be: 0xL4ugh{Egypt_Suez_IP-of-the-camera}.
0xL4ugh{Suez_197.166.232.101}
