Scan Surprise

We are given a challenge.zip
that has a directory home
with the following directory tree:
$ tree -a .
.
└── ctf-player
└── drop-in
└── flag.png
3 directories, 1 file
Viewing flag.png
is a QR code image.
I use the zbarimg
tool, used to read QR codes from images. I use it in my terminal and get the flag:
$ zbarimg ctf-player/drop-in/flag.png
QR-Code:picoCTF{p33k_@_b00_3f7cf1ae}
scanned 1 barcode symbols from 1 images in 0.01 seconds
Flag: picoCTF{p33k_@_b00_3f7cf1ae}
Note: This could also be solved scanning manually with a mobile device or using an online website to do so!
