Presented with a 100 megabyte .Onion file, I didn’t know what to do until I read the description of the challenge which mentioned the famous Shrek quote: Ogres are like Onions, they have layers. The quote hinted that there may be different layers of encryptions. A small part of it is shown below:

I wrote a simple little python script to do exactly just that to the file
