Hack the Box Challenge - You Can Do It!
Hint: The flag is in
the format HTB{plaintext}
Not
much in the way of a hint, but let's get this show started! I download the zip
file using wget, then extract it using unzip
and the password provided. Just like the last Crypto challenge "Classic,
yes complicated!", we're given a txt file that contains a
"scrambled" string. I'm going to try to use ROT13 again to see if we have any luck. Nope, of course
it wouldn't be THAT easy!
I see the last
character of this string is a "!". That's probably padding, so let's
see what we can find. My research didn't find anything with padding, what else
could it be? The first letter is "Y" and the last character is
"!", same as the challenge name. I bet this is an anagram, off to
find an online anagram solver!
Searching online was
a bust, but I was able to solve it by writing it out and crossing the letters
as I used them. Just like the challenge, you can do it!
Until next time!
