# strings it
Download the file:
```bash
curl -s https://jupiter.challenges.picoctf.org/static/5bd86036f013ac3b9c958499adf3e2e2/strings -o strings
```
Strings is a tool in Linux that will only print printable characters in a file, with other features.
```bash
strings strings
```
But it is hard to get the flag that way, because the file is so big.
We can use grep in this case:
```bash
strings strings | grep 'picoCTF{' --color=never
```
That is the flag.
