[!NOTE] The information is in this image, and the clue to the encryption method is also in the image.

The final password consists of only English letters.

You might need a hex viewer. Don't worry, I've found one for you: Hex Viewer.

After obtaining the key, please send it to i@mail.vinking.top to receive the Alipay password red packet.

The decryption method will be updated after the holiday. Enjoy it. Being a riddler is really fun
