Solution Approach

Core idea: Identify the weakness from source review or fingerprinting first. Iterate with incremental payloads instead of guessing.

Steps

  1. First, unzip the .zip file.

  2. Hmm.. Let's open it using audacity.

  3. Before here the music, let's start by change the representation from waveform to spectogram.

  4. Notice there's something.

  5. Let's zoom out and stretch the spectogram downward.

  6. Got the flag!

Lessons Learned
