## [Original/Source Writeup](https://bigpick.github.io/TodayILearned/articles/2020-10/b01lersbootcamp#needle-in-a-haystack)

We’re given a link to a `Haystack.zip`, whose size when unzipped is `12 KiB`. The contents of which are **400** various text files:

```
ls NeedleInAHayStack | wc -l
400
```

Attempting to use `grep` to look for the flag syntax:

```
grep -r 'flag{' ./NeedleInAHayStack
./NeedleInAHayStack/haystack269.txt:Fo1gQaT1DgTzK3BO+xkuAIRHKflag{y0u_f0unD_Th3_n33d1e!}
```

Flag is `flag{y0u_f0unD_Th3_n33d1e!}`.
