I agree - it certainly isn’t any worse than any other Challenge. It is straightforward, maybe its the manual effort people are upset about…
idk why people give dislike but i think its not bad, like simple ctf crypto challenge(and it must be in crypto category i think)
thanks for this challenge @brutale1602 i didnt solve this before
Very easy challenge, but doesn’t deserve the dislikes.
Thank you guys! This is the first challenge that I publish. As for the dislike, evidently did not like the fact of making a manual effort, as @TazWake said. In any case, in addition to the challenge itself, I recommend reading the historical part briefly, I found it very interesting. Thanks again to everyone!
For what its worth, @brutale1602, I liked it. The manual effort was minimal and it was an interesting topic to pick.
The way people give thumbs up/down (or mark boxes) makes no sense to me at the best of times.
I think it is perfect challenge for absolute beginners. It is easy, teaches some crypto history and gives gratification right away.
I agree with everyone here, really simple challenge, but really interesting. I think that this teaches a bit more about where our super secure and modern crypto algorithms come from. Really interesting.
Grazie @brutale1602, fregatene dei dislikes!
Thank you, now I know that If the Queen places her handbag on the table at dinner, it is a sign she wishes the event to end in the next five minutes.
ps. in order to solve don’t follow my comment, you risk getting stuck in a rabbit hole
good challenge
Very Simple and never solved this kind before
It’s just awesome. Upvote! And seriously, what are all those downvotes?
Downvotes may be due to the fact that HTB flag submissions are case sensitive. There’s several different formats the flag could be, and that’s a bit annoying.
I managed to decode the crypt, but Still something is missing…

Check you decoded it properly.
Great challenge to get back into the mindset of HTB.
I had a bit of trouble wit the flag both cause I forgot it’s HTB{xxx} I did HTB[xxx] and it was case sensitive.
otherwise good easy challenge.
