# SpookyPass
## **Preparation**
## **Resolution**
We check the file type and execute it to see what we are working with.
### **First method**
In this first method, we will use the `strings` command to view the visible parts of the binary in order to find the password.
### **Second method**
We will use the `ltrace` command to see how the binary is executed, in order to search for variables or comparisons that contain the password.
### **Third method**
In this case, we will use the `radare2` tool.
