Description

Python scripts are invoked kind of like programs in the Terminal… Can you run this Python script using this password to get the flag?

Process / Notes

Running in the web-shell
cat ende.py –> grabbing some system arguments, probably need to grab the pw.txt and flag.txt.en to fill those out
Looks like there are specific options for each of our arguments
Going to check those with the -h flag after I cat the other two
Password is a long mess - looks like hex
Flag is really a long encoded mess - glad we have the program
Ran python ende.py -h - said to run the program with the -d flag followed by the file name, so I’ll do that
Asked for the password
-e and -d might be ’encrypt’ and ‘decrypt’ based on the script
Copied the password manually from the password file
The flag is revealed
