The campus radio club at Vidyapeeth College recorded a strange signal last night. No voice, no music. Just ones and zeros, sent in groups of eight.
The log is below, inside the code block. Each group of eight bits is one byte, and each byte is one letter. Convert every group and read the message.
What you get is the inside of a flag. Wrap it in the flag format: the letters M X C, an opening curly brace, your decoded text, and a closing curly brace. Then paste it into the Submit box.
The Researcher Toolkit has a binary decoder. CyberChef's From Binary recipe works too. Computers speak binary all day, so this translation is worth practising.
