Did you use HxD or strings to find hidden metadata? 4. Extraction List the files found inside the archive: hint.txt – (Describe what was inside). image.png – (Was there hidden data in the LSB?). flag.txt – The target file. 5. The Flag Provide the final string and explain how it was formatted. Flag: CTF{P0rcupin3_Crumb_Tr4il}

Describe the file itself. Mention if it was password-protected or if the headers appeared unusual. 7-Zip archive. Hash Check: Provide the SHA-256 hash to ensure integrity.

Briefly state the goal (e.g., "Analyze the provided 7z archive to recover the hidden flag"). 2. Initial Reconnaissance

(e.g., Forensics / Cryptography / Reverse Engineering) Difficulty: (e.g., Easy / Medium)

Since I don't have the specific contents of your file, here is a professional template you can use to document your findings. 1. Challenge Overview Name: PorcupineCrummy

Did you find a clue in the filename or a secondary file?

Did you use a tool like John the Ripper or Hashcat ?

Example: 7z2john PorcupineCrummy.7z > hash.txt && john --wordlist=rockyou.txt hash.txt
