We found a torn diary on the ground. It seems to belong to a local boy.
In this task we were given a small zipped git repository. Trying to do anything with it (git log etc.) failed
with errors. It seemed like we had to find the flag in raw git objects then.
The first thing we did was enough - a simple inspection of the objects:
λ cat doit.sh
zlib-flate -uncompress < $1 | strings | grep midnight
λ find -exec bash doit.sh {} \;
flate: inflate: data: incorrect header check
flate: inflate: data: incorrect header check
Today I found a flag, it said: midnight{if_an_object_ref_falls_and_no_one_hears} that sounds very interesting.
