How to solve

The main page mentions something about a proprietary format with a store. The page also mentions that it was created on mac. Apple has a proprietary file format called "DS_Store" that saves metadata about folders. If you visit /.DS_Store, you find a hidden file.

You can either parse this file using a script, (for example using this), or just figure out by looking at the file that there is a folder 0n3_m0re_th1ng. Visiting /0n3_m0re_th1ng will return the flag.

Hints

Hint #1 (medium hint)

I've been looking into proprietary filesystems lately. Interesting stuff.

Hint #2 (big hint)

I followed this really great workshop on Git last year, but I do wish I had payed more attention to the part about the .gitignore file though. Maybe then my projects wouldn't be filled with random files. I heard GitHub hosts some templates for different operating systems, maybe that can help.
