Problem Statement

Find the flag in this picture. You can also find the file in /problems/so-meta_0_7c0b2ae7a38b024c6b1c68cf50970a88.

Hints

What does meta mean in the context of files? Ever hear of metadata?

Solution

The title and hint point towards checking this file's metadata. There are a number ways to do this, though I used exiftool, which gives detailed information about a file. The command in the shell was exiftool pico_img.png. The flag can be seen as the file's artist.
