Flag 1.

This challeng we have a png file, but when we try opening it we got an error msg Invalid filetype Inspecting the file we noticed the magic bytes didnt matched a png magic byte. we need to edit the hex and make it look like this. if we open it again now we should get the flag. sig21ctfm4g1c_by3s_4r3_0p

Steganography

Flag 1.

viewing the begining of the files looks seemingly gebrish, so i paste it to spammic hoping gives something useful. sig21CTF{40d488d2cc8a2319d9d6c70e5c45c358c085216a3d66f86b17c883d0b1cda30e}

Flag 2.

For this challenge we have a png file. simply running steghide extract -sf file.jpg give us the flag sig21CTF{i_bet_you_aint_wearing_your_mask_rn}

Thanks for reading, I hope this helps :)
