Hello,

I’ve managed to retireve all the files from the image
but I can’t figure out the city name due to my weak French
So can I have any hint abou tht city name
Thanks

Hi,

I don’t think you need any french knowledge to pass this challenge. Watch what you’ve got.

Good luck ! :)

Hi,

I do confirm, the name of the town is not written down in any manner. Hope it’s help you. If not, feel free to come on IRC

Still don’t get it
is it something in the metadata?

hint: don’t use microsoft word =) openoffice welcome

guys i’am still stucked in this challenge any hint about what to do after recovering the data?

You should find correct program for recovering, i tried many of them (in windows) but did not retrieved correctly files (like xE... .xxx) then try on linux!

Hello,

Could someone help me on how I can retrieve all the files from the image?

Thanks.

I think I’ve found the city and the region but neither is working, any more hints?

Well, I will say I do agree it is not written in any format period in any of the files. It’s the tool you use to analyze the file itself. The tool is readily available via Kali and there is a windows variant. Think outside of the box. Also google search certain search queries that were told to you on the challenge page itself.

for the people struggling you can user any compressor or de-compressor to extract the data from the file, i just used 7zip to extract the files/folders

I was really struggling with this one .
Since it was one of the early challenges i thought it would have been easier.
My mistake was that i had extracted the image but not all files were present.

I seem to have hit a brickwall. I was able to extract the files, found a picture of a kidnapped cat with their demand. I feel like I need to know a bit more about the region to figure out who might have been interested.

Fun fact: most smartphones use to storing location of taken pictures.

Good luck ;)
