## First things first...

I tried to connect to the host but it just rejected the conection asking for a private key.

## Getting access

The challenge gives a `pcap` file to use so I guess that somewhere in there should be a private key. Searching in the `pcap` file for the string `private` in the packets data part revealed the Luciafer private key!

## Give me my flag!

We can now connect to the machine and get the flag under `/home/luciafer/Downloads/flag.txt`:

```
flag{Lucy-a-FUR-G0T-R3KT-by-the-BLUZers-CLUB!!!}
```
