The outline covers the most common avenues that an AVI can hide information in, and it shows the tools and commands you’ll need at each stage. Feel free to skip sections that turn out to be irrelevant for your particular file.

2. Technical Metadata (How to retrieve)

| Tool | Command / Steps | |------|-----------------| | ffprobe (FFmpeg) | ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams Greenturtlegirl-3.avi | | MediaInfo | Open the file in MediaInfo GUI or run mediainfo Greenturtlegirl-3.avi | | Windows Properties | Right‑click → Properties → Details tab | | macOS Get Info | Control‑click → Get Info |

These commands will reveal:

  • Container format (e.g., AVI, RIFF)
  • Video codec (e.g., DivX, Xvid, H.264)
  • Audio codec (e.g., MP3, AC3, PCM)
  • Resolution, frame rate, bitrate
  • Duration, file size, creation/modification dates
  • Embedded subtitles (if any)

4. Suggested Workflow for Evaluation

  1. Gather metadata using one of the tools above.
  2. Verify integrity with ffmpeg -v error.
  3. Play the file in a reliable player (VLC, MPV) to confirm visual/audio quality.
  4. Document findings (codec, resolution, duration, any anomalies).
  5. Decide on next steps: keep as‑is, convert, or repair.

6. Decoding the extracted data

When you finally have a blob that looks promising, try the usual suspects:

| Encoding / Compression | Command (Linux) | |------------------------|-----------------| | Base64 | base64 -d blob.bin > blob2.bin | | Hex (ASCII) | xxd -r -p blob.bin > blob2.bin | | gzip / zlib | gzip -d blob.bin or python -c "import sys, zlib; sys.stdout.write(zlib.decompress(open('blob.bin','rb').read()))" | | XOR with single byte | xorsearch -b blob.bin (or a quick Python loop) | | AES‑CBC (common in CTFs) | openssl enc -d -aes-128-cbc -in blob.bin -out plain.bin -K <key> -iv <iv> | | ROT13 / Caesar | tr 'A-Za-z' 'N-ZA-Mn-za-m' < blob.bin | Greenturtlegirl-3.avi

If you get readable text that contains the typical flag format (CTF..., flag..., picoCTF..., etc.), you have found the answer.

3.2 Audio track analysis (if the video has audio)

Even if the file appears “silent”, hidden data can be tucked in the audio channel. The outline covers the most common avenues that

# Convert to raw PCM for easier analysis
ffmpeg -i audio_track1.wav -f s16le -acodec pcm_s16le raw_audio.pcm
# Check for hidden spectrogram messages
sox raw_audio.pcm -n spectrogram -r -o spectrogram.png
# Use Audacity or Sonic Visualiser to zoom into the spectrum.

You can also run stegdetect on the WAV, or try StegExpose (it works on audio as well).
