Extracting the provided misc10.zip file reveals a text file with the following contents:

666c61677b68656c6c6f5f776f726c647d

Since this wasn’t accepted as the solution (and neither was flag{666c61677b68656c6c6f5f776f726c647d}), I tried to hex-decode it:

$ xxd -r -p <<< 666c61677b68656c6c6f5f776f726c647d
flag{hello_world}

The flag is flag{hello_world}.
