# TL;DR

In this task the author gaves us an Excel file. As all Office file, it’s possible to unzip them. With a quick look, we notice a PNG file in decompressed data.

This PNG is not displayed in the Excel file. Then, *binwalk* extract a little encrypted zip from the PNG file.

Finally, I used *fcrackzip* to bruteforce the password (secret key = *px*).
