Our spy has intercepted this message. It contains the meeting place of double agents working for our enemies. Unfortunately, we haven't decrypted it yet.

The only hint we have is the name of the author that our spy has been able to identify: BROWN.

Good luck.

PS: the flag is 42CTF{THEPLACEOFMEETING}
