📝 Instructions

1. Download the File:
   Use a terminal command (like wget or curl) to download the challenge file from the LINUX_FUNDAMENTALS->Challenge 1 directory.

2. Find the Flag:
   The file is too large to read manually. You must use a Linux command line tool to filter through the file and find the specific flag format mentioned above.

   💡 Hint: You need a standard Linux utility that is used to search for specific patterns or strings within a file. It is the most common tool for "global regular expression print."

🚫 Constraints

• Terminal Only: Do not open the text file in a GUI text editor.
• No Manual Scrolling: Do not read the file line-by-line .
