## Solution

The question says that there is a payload hidden in the image file and is password protected.

```
steghide extract -sf hackersteg.jpg
```

Therefore, we can try it with `steghide` and extract the text file which contains the flag.

{% hint style="info" %}
Why steghide? This comes with experience, where you will know that you have to use this tool most of the time when there is something embedded in the file and is password protected. So don't give up, practice makes perfect.
{% endhint %}

```
cat steganopayload26011.txt
```

`cat` command is used to read the contents in the text file.
