Security of the algorithm has flaws 😜

After completing a POW, we get

f_a is basically some deterministic function, and we need to predict the next output, so we simply input n - 1 as the new n and submit f_a(n + 4)

$ N
Do you want to provide desired integer as `n'? [Y]es [N]o
$ y
enter your integer n:

Congratz! :) You got the flag: CCTF{___Naor-Reingold___p5euD0r4ndOM_fuNc710N__PRF__}
