Description : Using tabcomplete in the Terminal will add years to your life, esp. when dealing with long rambling directory structures and filenames: Solution : 1 . Unzipping the Archive

To begin our quest, we unzip the “Addadshashanammu.zip” file and examine its contents

unzip Addadshashanammu.zip
  1. Tab Completion

After extracting the zip file, we encounter a complex directory structure. Thankfully, tab completion simplifies our navigation. As we move through the directories using tab completion, we eventually discover the hidden executable file “fang-of-haynekhtnamet” buried deep within the path.

Bingo we got our flag

Addadshashanammu.zip
