Think the flag is somewhere in there. Would you help me find it? https://mega.nz/#!OHohCbTa!wbg60PARf4u6E6juuvK9-aDRe_bgEL937VO01EImM7c

Download the Image:
Grab the image from this link (it’s named 95f6edfb66ef42d774a5a34581f19052.jpg).

2. Navigate to the Directory:
Make sure you’re in the folder where you downloaded the image.

3. Run the Command:
Open your terminal and run:

strings 95f6edfb66ef42d774a5a34581f19052.jpg

4. You might not see anything interesting at the top, but keep scrolling down!

5. Find the Flag:
The flag will be at the bottom:

flag{wow!_data_is_cool}

I tried checking the EXIF data but didn’t find the flag there, so using the strings command did the trick! Easy peasy! 🎉

Thank you for reading and Happy Hacking!
