🧠 What I Practiced/Learned/Discovered

• Always decompress files before trying the challenge (lol). I tried the challenge for few minutes to finally find out that I was working on a zip.

🔧 Tools used

Linux shell

• gzip
• strings
• grep

Steps

1. Decompressed the file : gzip -d disko-1.dd.gz
2. IT was hard to read from the file directly using cat because it’s a binary file and non human-readable
   • Used strings : which is a command used to extract readable strings from binaries.
   • Also used our favorite tool : grep to find stuffs.
3. Run strings disko-1.dd | grep pico{ and got the flag!
