The file to download contains a hidden word.

  • What is the format of the file?
  • What is the hidden word?

The format of the file is zip. After downloading the file, I added the zip extension, but I can't open it in Word, and when I open it in Notes, I find: <html><head><title>Page to display to get the secret word</title><style>span{font-weight:bold;font-size:24px;}</style><script>document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded",function(){var text=document.createElement("span");text.innerHTML=String.fromCharCode(80,105,109,101,110,116);document.body.appendChild(text);});</script></head><body><div></div></body></html>

Can you help me please?

    The format is zip.

    Once unzipped, there is another file. When opening it in Notepad, we see that it is HTML.

    So, we need to convert the new file to HTML format, then open it with a browser.

    Hello,

    With this site, I extracted the numbers from "Charcode."

    Each letter corresponds to a number.

    For example: for "CharCode(84,97,117,112,101)" we get "taupe."

    Hello,

    The "secret word" must be on the page (or on another page of the site) that provided you with the link to the ".zip".

    You need to examine everything before clicking (we often hurry to get it).

    Note that a ".zip" file must be extracted (with "ZipGenius" (free) for example).

    Hello,

    I have the same issue. When I explore the archive, I don't know how to open the file. It seems to be a Unix file.
