Steganography

You've intercepted a suspicious string of text that seems to be encoded with some sort of steganographic technique. The intelligence suggests that there is a hidden message within the text, and your task is to decode it to reveal the flag. The encoded text is as follows:

z0ipfhq5alok0sahf35g9sun-330b{bbv30966j79tk9d84b975z6h93oc60t1zc9hdw0ba8fp2kryvcyj6c5687k2uft02j280df17pefp9707q230x8t94fz1pe32bj9i1di}

Steganography is the technique of hiding data within an ordinary, nonsecret file or message to avoid detection; the hidden data is then extracted at its destination.

To solve this steganographic challenge, we'll need to decrypt the hidden message encoded within the provided text. This can be done by selecting every nth character from the encoded text, where 'n' represents a certain interval. By systematically iterating through different values of 'n' and extracting characters at each interval, we can uncover the hidden message

Once we've determined the appropriate interval 'n' and extracted the characters accordingly, we can reconstruct the flag.

This message should adhere to the flag format, beginning with "flag- and ending with "
