Problem: Can you find the flag in this file without actually running it? You can also find the file in /problems/strings_2_b7404a3aee308619cb2ba79677989960 on the shell server.

File: THE_FILE

Solution: To read the file you run the strings command. HOWEVER, the file is huge and you don’t want to read the entire thing so use the pipe command and grep the flag out.

strings strings | grep pico

Flag: picoCTF{sTrIngS_sAVeS_Time_3f712a28}
