# REDACTED
**Challenge Name: REDACTED**
**Category: Forensics**
**Difficulty: Easy**
**Description: I have forgotten my AI's name, can you find it?**
The challenge provided us with a file called `REDACTED.h5` . So, the standard operating procedure in any Forensics challenge is to check the "actual" file type of the file with the `file` command in Linux. As we can see, the file provided is a Hierarchical Data Format Format file.
In any Forensics challenge, when faced with an unknown file type. The best course of action is to find a tool that can read the file or if you don't want to, use `strings` to display visible strings within the file. Doing that reveals a json list to us of which one of them is a weird string,`SUNURjI0e25hTWVfb0ZfN2hFX2c0TUV9`. If you do a lot of CTFs, you would recognise this weird string to be a Base64-encoded string. Don't worry if you don't recognise it, it takes time and experience to know.
Using a tool that's already in Linux called `base64`, we can use `echo` with the `|` (pipe operator) to pass the string to the tool with the argument `-d` to decode the string. Doing so reveals the flag!
