I found two files in a secret room. They look like jumbled letters with no patterns. I mean look at it! file1 is identical to file2, right?

I wrote a small python script to compare the 2 files


f1 = open("file1","r").read()
f2 = open("file2","r").read()
out = ""

x=0
for y in f1:
        if f2[x] != y:
                out += y
        x+=1
print out

output: }4_gn1k00l_3r3w_u0y_3cn3r3ff1d_3ht_3b_y4m_s1ht{ftcysae

reverse the string

print out[::-1]
