Clue : Strings

Rating this low as a precedent for future challenges with similar issues. Early challenges like this is meant for absolute beginners who is just starting to learn CTF and CyberSec skills. Therefore, it would be highly useful to actually provide a clue at the very least. The SQL Injection one is far better as it links to an actual lab that beginners can learn from. The clue does not have to be obvious, it just needs to point them in the right direction, as currently they are lost without a map in a desert, since they are absolute beginners. This isn't "growing their ability to find information", when they don't even know that the word Steganography even exists at this stage of their Cyber Security learning journey. Keep the cryptic stuff to intermediate to higher levels. All this does is scare away people from the industry and intimidate them.

There is a simple command allowing you to see the text contained in a file, you just need to find it

And in no way is that telling me commands or instructions. I don't you understand that before a person learned something there was nothing.

I give you a hint then, it's a command that give you all the strings from a file, by doing quick research you should easily find the command name
