CyberPaws CTF: Week 3 (Spring)

Mysterious File

The next CyberPaws CTF challenge has been released! Please submit your flag to the "Prize Pup Bot" on our Discord via DMs, using the `!submit` command! You have until our next meeting to submit. The flag will always be in the following format: Paws{ex4mpl3_fl4g}.

Category: Reverse Engineering
Challenge Name: Mysterious File

Your longtime employment on your company's incident investigation team is usually quiet. However, that is all about to change. An employee has contacted the team about a "mysterious file" they received in an email attachment.

You and your team immediately become suspicious of the file and believe it might be malware. Furthermore, your boss is pressuring you all to provide answers ASAP. It's critical that you import your knowledge and get to the bottom of this. Best of luck, and hopefully, you can find this file's true functions.

The password for the zip file is "infected"

(Note: The file is not actually "malware". You can pretend you're running it in a safe environment.)
