Let's run Burpsuite to understand more!

As you can see here, this is the response of the server after entering random values, in the last line our value encoded in base64, the protected resource is /secure/ so we need to find a way to reach it!

We need just to change the Get to Post in our request and Bingo! This is the Flag.
