Hello,

After downloading the file, I normally unzipped it and dozens of files appeared!

I tried visiting some folders and there were empty!

I checked if there is hidden files and there were as shown below

I visited the secret folder and a found another dozens of files!

I listed what is inside the secret folder and each file has a number

so by arranging the letters & numbers based on the number it has (eg /0 = 6 so 0 will be on position 6), a string will be formed.

Just decode the string and the flag will appear
