SCENARIO:

HELP! The Intelligence Community $($IC$)$ has intercepted two files with possible embedded information and indicate a possible terrorist sleeper cell is forming in San Antonio $--$ sympathetic to Osama Bin Laden's son, Osama Jr$.$

ASSIGNMENT $--$ Your mission should you choose to accept it:

$--$Download the files spurs.jpg and drake.mp$3$ from Prof Ervin's OneDrive Account vec$(G)$

$--$Download and install the HxD Hex Editor to help you with analysis.

$--$ The file, spurs.jpg$,$ contains the location and time of a sleeper cell meeting in the city on Monday, January $29$th$.$ It is the ASCII beginning at offset: $0$x$4$AC$92($Big Endian$)$

$--$ The file,

drake.mp $3,$ is really not a music file, but a windows executable file that reveals the location of Osama Bin Laden Jr$.$ when manipulated and executed properly. Two Hex Bytes must be modified at offset $0$x$00000.$ Change $04E59$ to $04D5A($big$-$endian $).$ You must then rename the file to drake.exe and run the file at a Command Prompt.

$--$To assist you, please reference Prof Ervin's lecture that demonstrates how to launch $HxD,$ locate data within various offsets, change$/$manipulate data within a file, and how to launch and run windows executable files within a Command Prompt.
