In the task we get a zip file which seems corrupted.
We notice that the PK headers are not right.
It should always be 04034b50 and in our case the 3rd byte is wrong.
We also notice that it's not any accidental flip.
Once we extract all wrong headers we can see a pattern:
PKF
PKl
PKa
PKg
PK{
PKM
PK3
PK3
PKt
PK_M
PK3
PK_1
So we've got a flag prefix -> Flag{M33t_M3_1
Once we fix those headers, we can finally extract the archive and we get password protected zip and a piece of qr code. We initially thought we have to somehow fix the QR, but it turned out that in metadata there is:
<pdf:Author>Password to the second part is 0xNOX**</pdf:Author>
We used this password on the zip archive we got, and we managed to extract the file:
This makes up the whole flag: Flag{M33t_M3_1n_tHe_p4RK_T0mOrrOW}
