We're given a program we need to find the flag in it. Intuition tells me to run `strings` on it. When we do, we run into this:

Hello! I bet you are looking for the flag..

Looks like it's just some basic base64. We can decode them directly through the command line.
```
$ echo <BASE64STRING> | base64 -d
```
The flag is the third string.
