Hi All, I saw while ago writeup by Cyber R0nin (https://ctftime.org/task/27826) and I like it. It's correct way - faster way (use grep etc).

I was wondering that should I add here my writeup, but yeah, I decided to add this, mainly because I hope it can be useful for people without Linux in use (or in general, similar tools like used there) and I hope someone also can meet new tools, solutions (it will show alternate way to solve this).

So, thank you for your time and short writeup from me below:

As you can see, with this task you have to download some files (rev_lootstash.zip). It is “stash” file.

You can check this in different ways, I will show you here two methods — online, without need of installing additional tools (browser required:D).

(1) FILExt — The File Extension Source: https://filext.com/
As you can see from this site — description: “FILExt.com is the file extension source. Here you’ll find a collection of file extensions; many linked to the programs that created the files”

(2) Binary Ninja: https://binary.ninja/ “Binary Ninja is a modern reverse engineering platform with a scriptable and extensible decompiler”

Referring to the option (1 — FILExt):
