2EZ Writeup

Solved By : thewhiteh4t

• We are given a file named 2ez
• the file format is not known when I tested it with file command

• next I tried binwalk to look for any hidden files but the output was blank
• next I checked the MAGIC of the file i.e. the header
• file magic is responsible for the correct file format
• file command checks magic and file footer to determine correct file type

• JFIF header means a jpeg file
• correct header for JFIF in hex is : FF D8 FF
• but if we look at the file given to us its different, so I fixed it using a hex editor

• Saved it as a new file and solved
