Challenge Description
We begin by downloading the file using wget. We realise that the file provided is a text file. Based on the description, this text file is likely to be text-heavy.
Indeed, running cat <file-name> here displays a large block of text in the terminal. Let’s look for more clues.
PicoCTF Hint: Download the file and search for the flag based on the known prefix.
Based on the hint, it seems like we will have to search for the flag using grep pico, since the common flag format for PicoCTF challenges is picoCTF{...}.
Indeed, doing that reveals our flag.
Flag
