Extract hidden files from an image and concatenate three parts found in EXIF metadata.

Tools Used

binwalkexiftool

Overview

Given a JPEG image babyy.jpg, we must find hidden layers inside.

Reconnaissance

We run binwalk on the file to detect signatures of other embedded file systems or media.

Exploitation Strategy

Running binwalk -e babyy.jpg extracts 3 separate image files. Inspecting the EXIF metadata of these three images reveals three encoded segments. Concatenating them in order yields the flag.

Solution Code

binwalk -e babyy.jpg
exiftool *.jpg
Concatenate 3 parts -> STG{Unna_th2nn3_P2Th0ka_}

Flag

STG{Unna_th2nn3_P2Th0ka_}
