11-20.7z [SECURE | REPORT]
: If the archive is password-protected, look at the filename. In some CTFs (like CodeBattle ), the password is the Base64-decoded version of the filename or a string found in the file metadata.
If "11-20" implies a range, this file likely contains 12.7z , which contains 13.7z , all the way to 20.7z or flag.txt . 11-20.7z
import subprocess import os filename = "11-20.7z" while True: # Attempt to extract. -p can be used if there's a known password. result = subprocess.run(["7z", "x", filename, "-y"], capture_output=True) # Logic to find the next .7z file in the directory next_files = [f for f in os.listdir('.') if f.endswith('.7z') and f != filename] if not next_files: break filename = next_files[0] print(f"Extracted: filename") Use code with caution.
