hey guys, I’m new to HTB and also very new to steganography. I just now finished Widescreen like an hour ago. Can anyone help me with any ideas for decrypting this hackerman. I’m not asked the flag, just the correct direction would help.
I also reached the almost (I think). Is the almost encrypted in any way? If so, how intuitive is it to decrypt it? A PM without the solution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
This is a nice challenge for beginners. If you’re stuck, make sure that you examine the file closely. After you get the initial piece of information, you’ll find it to be rather intuitive.
People are being misleading telling that when you get almost you’re done, you are not! There are few more steps and few more tools 'till you get your flag. PM me for hints

If you have found the almost, then you literally are almost there!! It’s a steg challenge so go to your most obvious steg challenge app on kali and use what you have found!!

I feel like i didn’t get the flag the right way. Some of the other posts I feel give away a key piece of information that made the challenge easier to guess.
This 100%.
I was definitely able to use the wealth of hints in this thread to skip past the first step which I believe to involve a certain encoded/encrypted string.
I’m going to try and figure out what I missed but if someone sees this who solved it the ‘right’ way feel free to DM me to compare notes.
Wow, that one took longer than it should’ve. Although most of the posts have given the biggest hint about the first thing you find, the next step is using that information with the tools you have. PM me if you need further hints.
So I got the “almost”. I am also pretty new to this stuff so I have been trying to find resources to learn and force myself to try and figure it out but I just cannot seem to get around it… After reading these comments, I feel like I am missing something very simple too. Could someone PM me for a hint or a slap in the face? (I also hate asking for help but I am stuck)
