First, I will analyze the WAV file first. Using deep sound, I obtained a secret.zip file. But this file requires a password to decompress. So I use sstv to extract the audio and get the password


Unzip the file and I get two files: enc_data.pkl and tempo.pkl


Next I will process the image file. Based on the hint, I can know that it has used the huffman and histo-shift method. After some research, I came across a video that could solve this problem

Build the script and process it with Histogram Shift then have a decoded binary file and use it to decode the Huffman algorithm and i got the flag :
