RingZer0team CTF - Challenge 65

This is a continuation of my series on RingZer0Team.com.

Challenge 65 ("Hide my ass in my home", under the Forensic challenges) is a nice quick little forensic challenge. You get to download a .tar file, and do a bit of digging to uncover the flag.

This was a nice easy few minutes. After downloading the archive, I discovered a few files inside - including a particularly groovy electronica swing track, which I'm listening to again right now. Yeaaaaahhhhh.

Apart from a groovy mp3, the archive contains some dot-files such as .bash_history, a .jpg picture, an index.html, and some other bits.

I found the Flag in one of the dot-files; specifically, it was inside a Vim swap file that seemed to be leftover from a power failure or similar.
