Summary

This challenge at Snyk's Fetch the Flag CTF 2023 involves Hamming codes, specifically the (7, 4) version, to correct errors in a given file and obtain the flag. The solution script uses a predefined H matrix and an `errors` dictionary to determine the necessary corrections. It iterates through each line of the input file, applies the error correction using the H matrix, and then reconstructs the original message by replacing incorrect characters with their corresponding binary values.
