# Synopsis
SpookyPass is a Very Easy reversing challenge. Players will use `strings` to identify a password.
## Skills Learned
- `strings`
# Solution
Running the binary, we're given a password prompt:
```
Welcome to the SPOOKIEST party of the year.
Before we let you in, you'll need to give us the password: foo
You're not a real ghost; clear off!
```
We'll use `strings` to look for hidden data in the program:
```sh
$ strings ./pass
# .. SNIP ..
Welcome to the
[1;3mSPOOKIEST
[0m party of the year.
Before we let you in, you'll need to give us the password:
s3cr3t_p455_f0r_gh05t5_4nd_gh0ul5
Welcome inside!
You're not a real ghost; clear off!
# .. SNIP ..
```
If we try `s3cr3t_p455_f0r_gh05t5_4nd_gh0ul5` as the password, we'll be accepted and receive the flag.
