Someone stole my S's and replaced them with Z's! Have you ever seen this kind of file before?
Steps
After downloading comprezz
to my Kali instance, I ran file comprezz
an d received the following output ��f9�'FnĠ���j�CC�34h̐q���f0Z�%
Based on the challenge name and that the file is not readable, I decided to try to uncompress the file using. First I changed the file name from comprezz
to comprezz.z
Then I used uncompress comprezz
. The extract file is comprezz which had the flag.
