# Flag Recovery

## Purpose
Enumerate and extract the flag (e.g., `flag{...}`, `CTF{...}`) from a decrypted ciphertext or file during a cryptographic CTF challenge.

## Steps
1. **Plaintext Audit**: Scan the resulting plaintext for common flag prefixes (e.g., `flag{`, `CTF{`, or specific words from the challenge description).
2. **Encoding Identification**: Check for any remaining encodings (e.g., hex, base64, or rot13) within the plaintext itself.
3. **Flag Assembly**: Put together the flag and verify its structure (e.g., bit-length or checksum if available).

## Output
- Extracted flag.
- Evidence of recovery method.
- Logic-based recovery strategy.
