We are given an zip archive with the description
During an assessment of a unix system the HTB team found a suspicious directory. They looked at everything within but couldn't find any files with malicious inten
The zip archive can be extracted using the password hackthebox
Here we can see a lot folders and some of these folders contain an empty file and some don't , we can use find command to see which folders contains file

I then noted down the order of folder names from the file name it had like S folder contains file 1 so it should come first in order , I did this with the rest of folder names

Still the flag was wrong because Ç which should be _
