## Description
```
Oh man, RSA is so cool. But I don't trust the professionals, I do things MY WAY. And I'll make my encryption EXTRA secure with an extra thicc e! You'll never crack it!

As indicated by the description, looking at the contents of the file we immediately notice that the public exponent e is a very large number.
This suggests that the private exponent d might be small, so we tried to Wiener attack it.
The `Wiener's attack` uses the continued fraction method to expose the private key d when d is small.
To perform the attack we used a library that implements Wiener's attack on RSA in python.
Here are the lines of code that made us get the flag:
