# Locked Up
```My friend gave me a zip file with the flag in it, but the zip file is encrypted. Can you help me open the zip file?```
(File(s): attachments/locked.zip)
The zip archive is password protected. However, something to note about password protected zip archives is that they are not 100% secure. Let's try running `strings` on the archive to see how much comprehensible data we can get from it, and then run `grep` to find the flag.
```$ strings locked.zip | grep "hsctf"hsctf{w0w_z1ps_ar3nt_th@t_secUr3}UT	hsctf{w0w_z1ps_ar3nt_th@t_secUr3}UT```
