Problem Description:

Can you get the flag? Run this Python program in the same directory as this encrypted flag.

Hints:

Reveal Hints Write a password checker yourself and notice the operators.

The key to solving this problem is to follow the code. If you follow the code, you find out that the password is contained in the function with the equality comparison ==, which is “happychance”. Entering that into the program, the flag gets printed out
