[L8] Help

Hi,

Any clues for level 8?

I am stuck. I need to find a username and password from what looks like a compressed/encoded version of the actual username and pass.

It is compressed.  There are Python standard library functions for such things, look through the standard library docs.  You'll also need to know how to make a bytes literal, and how to reinterpret bytes as a UTF-8 string.  These are actually easily done in Python.  Also, the first few bytes of the binary are a signature, try googling it for a further hint as to what to do with it.
