So the flag for this question is h4c(D0_You_C_Wh4t_1_c?)

 

 

 

 

l Find the flag



The downloaded file called Hangul.zip contains Hangul.png upon unzipping. The image consists of another zip file which can be seen with the help of binwalk. Upon unzipping Hangul.png another file called Hangul is retrieved which contains the flag for this question.

The flag is h4c(i_1ove_hangul)

 

 

 

 

l The Easiest problem of the universe


 

I used cyberchef to decrypt the given string under the option of base64. This operation upon being executed thrice gave me the following string.

_-_-_-__ _--__-_- _--____- _--_--_- _-__-___ __--_-__ _-____--

 

This is binary encoded and thus I changed the hyphens and underscores to 0 and 1.

Taking - as 0 and _ as 1 the output was as follows.

10101011 10011010 10011110 10010010 10110111 11001011 10111100

But by converting this to ascii it didn’t made any sense. So onward to the next approach.

 

Taking - as 0 and _ as 1 I received the flag for this question

01010100 01100101 01100001 01101101 01001000 00110100 01000011

Binary to ascii - TeamH4C

 

So the flag is h4c(TeamH4C)

C4ptur3-th3-fl4g Walkthrough

TryHackMe c4ptur3-th3-fl4g Walkthrough Task - 1 Translation and Shifting Question 1 -  c4n y0u c4p7u23 7h3 f149? Solution -  This one's quite simple. This is called leet in which the text is written with modified spellings with the help of numbers in place of some characters. The answer for this one is - can you capture the flag? Question 2 -  01101100 01100101 01110100 01110011 00100000 01110100 01110010 01111001 00100000 01110011 01101111 01101101 01100101 00100000 01100010 01101001 01101110 01100001 01110010 01111001 00100000 01101111 01110101 01110100 00100001 Solution -  This is written in binary as you can see that every set of 1's and 0's (separated by space) is a string of 8 numbers. So you can use any online resource such as  rapidtables  to convert binary to ascii. The answer for this is -  lets try some binary out! Question 3 -  MJQXGZJTGIQGS4ZAON2XAZLSEBRW63LNN5XCA2LOEBBVIRRHOM====== HINT :  Hav...

Krypton Walkthrough

Krypton Walkthrough Level 1 >> Level 2 Level 2 >> Level 3 Level 3 >> Level 4 Level 4 >> Level 5 Level 5 >> Level 6 Level 6 >> Level 7 Level 1 >> Level 2 Hint Read the question carefully. Solution 1. SSH into the server with username as krypton1 and password as KRYPTONISGREAT $ ssh krypton1@krypton.labs.overthewire.org -p 2231 2. The next step is to find the file upon which we'll be practising. This information is provided in the previous level. So lets hop onto the location. $ cd /krypton/ $ ls $ cd krypton1 3. Reading the README file gives us the answer to try skipping that and directly cat the other file $ cat krypton2 OUTPUT: YRIRY GJB CNFFJBEQ EBGGRA 4. With practice you'll be able to recognize this cipher. Also you can use an online service called boxentriq for recognizing the cipher. It'll also help you in breaking it. As of now the cipher is rot13 which is a caesar cipher with key as 13. The way rot13 works is that it adds 13...
