Does the file attempt to contact a Command & Control (C2) server?

Before running anything, examine the extracted files without executing code.

Steps to remove the threat or the "Flag" found if this was a CTF.

Run strings on the extracted files to look for IP addresses, URLs, registry keys, or human-readable text that hints at the file's origin or "Dutch" connection.

Search these hashes on platforms like VirusTotal or Malshare to see if the file has been previously analyzed by security researchers. 2. Extraction & Inspection
