It seems like the flag is encoded using base 64, to decode this we can use online tools one such is https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/
The decoded text is also in the form of base64 but remove the ' and the letter b as well or else it wont decode correctly
The resulting text seems to be encrypted using caesar cipher, to decrypt it we can use online tools, one such is https://www.dcode.fr/caesar-cipher
Submit the flag to complete the challenge!
