Bladerunner Type Shi-

Description:

I found this bladerunner.exe in PDS Lab but sadly it doesn’t run

I don’t think I should trust random files in PDS Lab :(


The hint was in the title. “Type”. This is also directly given in the slides.

Basically bladerunner.exe is not an .exe it’s an image with the wrong file extension.

You can confirm this by running file

❯ file bladerunner.exe 
bladerunner.exe: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01, resolution (DPI), density 72x72, segment length 16, Exif Standard: [TIFF image data, little-endian, direntries=7, orientation=upper-left, xresolution=98, yresolution=106, resolutionunit=2, software=GIMP 2.10.38, datetime=2025:02:01 01:19:29], progressive, precision 8, 651x738, components 3

Simply rename the file to bladerunner.png and open it with any image viewer.

Bonus points to anyone who got the K-On reference.
