# Corrupted Encryption
## Text
I'm not much for this competitive hacking, so if I could I would have just given you the flag for this challenge. The problem is that the file on which I kept the flag was encrypted, but because of some syncing issues with my cloud, the encryption key got lost and the file can no longer be decrypted. Luckily I backed up the encryption key... but that backup is situated in the file itself...
The best course of action you can take now is to maybe figure out what the file type was and to go from there...
Oh, also, yes stupid me added an additional layer of encoding for the flag so you'll have to break through that too :)
Notice: There is a secret second flag hidden somewhere :o
