Challenge description:

Introducing NoteWorthy! ✨

It’s not your regular boring notes app—it’s a whole new take on privacy. Your secrets are all yours, miltary grade secured!

We are given a note taking application. Go ahead and signup for an account, and login, in the dashboard, we can create a note, view the created note, delete a note.

On viewing a note, notice the URL /notes/<note_id>, which is a numerical number, on creating a new note, its the previous note id + 1. Try to access previous notes, and you can access other's notes!

decreasing note number one by one, you reach note id 0 which has the flag.
