Solution

If we run the script, we get the following output:

$ python3 fixme2.py

  File "/home/kali/Desktop/ctf/picoCTF/General-Skills/fixme2.py/fixme2.py", line 22
    if flag = "":
       ^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Maybe you meant '==' or ':=' instead of '='?

We can see that there is a syntax error on line 22. We can fix this by changing the = to ==. We can then run the script again:

$ python3 fixme2.py

That is correct! Here's your flag: picoCTF{3qu4l1ty_n0t_4551gnm3nt_f6a5aefc}

Remember that = is used for assignment and == is used for comparison.

Flag

picoCTF{3qu4l1ty_n0t_4551gnm3nt_f6a5aefc}
