Paradox Parable

This is a Easy Forensics challenge based on data carving an appended archive from a PNG file.

The challenge includes a decoy flag and a misleading handbook:

Decoy Flag: Running strings Paradox_Parable_Image.png reveals the false flag: CYS{early_belief}. The player must use binwalk to scan the file’s binary structure for embedded signatures

Command: binwalk -e Paradox_Parable_Image.png will give a extracted file with the true flag : CYS{binwalk_reveals_truth}

Flag

CYS{early_belief}
