Turns out, some of the files back from Master Challenge 1 were corrupted. Restore this one file and find the flag. Update 16:26 EST 1 Apr If you feel that you are close, make a private piazza post with what you have, and an admin will help out. The flag starts with the character z.
What file is this?
What do you expect to find in the file structure?
All characters in the file are lower case or nuberical. There will not be any zeroes.
This really stretched my capabilities. I had only briefly touched on file signatures in my entire computer science "career". I did know enough to know what to search for. I started off by opening the file in hexedit, and noticed that the signature was cut out and had X's in its place. Easy fix - or so I thought. I practically got to every type of file signature before I realized it was just a zip file. I felt like an idiot, but fixed it, and found the flag.
