It is ok, that the rsa-key is not what it looks like, and will not be. Furthermore, regarding to @v1p3r0u5 help, it is clear that for the solution I have to inflate the balloon; but which is the balloon and which is the air? And how can I inflate with the help of chef? …and I could not recognize any patterns in the files, neither in b…4, nor in 0x… format.
I really enjoyed this. I am a noob when it comes to this stuff. it was challenging, but there are a lot of resources out there, you just have to know where to look.
Needed to have a nudge from @x41 to be able to solve this one, in my opinion the initial part required some guessing but that’s just because i don’t understand that certain technique. Overall it’s a cool challenge tho

what do I not notice? What am I missing?
I am also trying to guess what the balloon analogy is supposed to bring, the chef doesnt like me for searching his stock for blowfishes or expanding … stuff.
I am also stuck. I tried several techniques with op****l regarding the key. The chef gave me info about the file and a hint what to do with it. But I seem to be unable to bring those together in chef. Any hints appreciated!
Neat little challenge. I loved it. And I can see why it was hard to decide on category for it.
In the end, „forensics“ is probably the best choice, since everything else is just trivial
Hello guys, trying to solve this challenge but I’m not making it neither with the hints. Can anyone help me please?
Same here bro
I am also trying to solve this challenge but no luck so far. one of the file can be deflate in chef and zlib file can be extracted. I repeated this process several times but could not find useful information. It seems to be rabbit hole. Please DM if anyone can help.
