This is all about the second Hackthebox stenography challenged named Widescreen.

On downloading the file we are presented with a PNG file. Which looks like a normal file.

But did you noticed one thing?

Why is there a black bar on the image? Shall it be there or not. If it is there for what purpose is it. Something seems to be fishy here.

Move this image into the Microsoft Word, Photoshop, Illustrator or an other tool which can help you play with the contrasts of the image files.

On changing the contrast to -10% we can see the flag written in the same black bar.

That was all for this challenge.

Don’t forget to add 50 claps.
