HackTheBox-Cat

We get an archive which after extracting we get cat.ab file

So doing a little google it seems we can extract this backup which is created

( printf "\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00" ; tail -c +25 cat.ab ) |  tar xfvz -

I tried doing some OSINT on fredhond556 but found nothing but then I reliazed that there was another folder that was extracted

Going into Pictures we can see some cat pictures and a picture with a guy stadning holding something , now at first I ignored this as when I zoomed at it the text on the paper contained lorem ipsem

If we scroll down at the bottom we'll see the flag
