misDIRection

Overall I liked this challenge, not too hard and kinda fun. But there are a few mistakes you can make along the way that will turn this into a headache.

Nudge:

  • Make sure you unzip the folder on a linux machine. If you don’t Windows will collapse files into one another (For example folder Z/ and z/ will be combined ) and you will not be able to complete the challenge!! If you unzipped on windows restart the challange on a linux machine.

  • If you are stuck try installing tree which will display the contents of the directories recursively and might give you a better idea of what to do

  • Lastly, once you have an idea run with it and don’t overthink the decoding

PM me if you tried these and still can’t figure it out
