Hints

1. Indentation is very meaningful in Python
2. To view the file in the webshell, do: $ nano fixme1.py
3. To exit nano, press Ctrl and x and follow the on-screen prompts.
4. The str_xor function does not need to be reverse engineered for this challenge.

   Approach

   If we look at fixme1.py we’ll see there’s an indent on line 20. Python cares about whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines) and this extra tab is against Python syntax (rules). If we delete the tab we should get the same code as this. After running that, we can get the flag.
