Once downloaded, lets run the file

Looks like it asks for a password, and says `Nope` if it is wrong

Lets look at the file at more detail with the `strings` command

The highlighted lines are interesting, we can see that there is a string called `pass`, and two lines below it says `Welldone!` Lets try entering `pass` as the password
