Describe the specific "aha!" moment where the flag was uncovered.
[e.g., Digital Forensics / Steganography / Reverse Engineering] File Provided: Seaside.Driving.rar
If a binary was included, explain the behavior observed in a sandbox or debugger (e.g., X64dbg, Ghidra). 3. Flag Recovery
Running strings on the extracted files to look for "CTF{" or suspicious URLs.
Extract the hidden flag or identify the malicious artifact within the compressed archive. 1. Initial Triaging
Checking EXIF data of the image using exiftool to find coordinates or hidden comments.
If the RAR was encrypted, describe how the password was found (e.g., rockyou.txt wordlist, hint in metadata, or brute force). Static Analysis:
