Hi there MrRaid9,
You are following the same path I did, thinking about it in just SSH encryption.
Agent22 is correct and we should follow his advice.
Here is an article I found that can help, look especially at the encoding section
Also, reread my hints from above.
Hope this helps my friend!

bad magic number? iāll still research on decoding txt, but keep hitting a brickwall
took a while but i got it lol ā ā ā ā , how do i summit or im not done yet ? lol
āupdatedā
nvm got it, thanks for the info!!
Iām still stuck on this one. Iāve done alot of manipulation to the string in a few formats. Done freqency analyis on the 4 char sets and the 8 chars but I think I might be looking in the wrong direction given what others are saying.
Any hints?

It is very easy, when you have translated the primal types of languajes used by computers, you will recognize that pattern every time you see it, I promise you!
Lol got itā¦ I was looking deeper. Sneaky though.

Thatās where Iām stuck. Keep staring at the digits, no divide message yet.
This is really confusing because I am getting a message from a conversion but thatās exactly whatās not cooking
Any tips are extremely welcome.
iām looking into the hexdump of the encrypted ssh creds file but not coming up with anything solid?
any suggestion will be of great help
What to do with binaries?
Oppsā¦I need to read more.
I got the code but i cant submit it Help me please
LOOOL i put double dots by mistake
first to change base64 code then you get the binary code. and then binary to ascii. easy
My fastest challenge yet, very fun though, felt rewarding and easy 30 points!

Okay, something is not right, I did that, I have the ASCII, I can read it. I added it to the HTB{} but it is not working
Edit: Ignore this, something was strange, I refreshed and it worked

u r very close ā¦only 2 steps remainā¦ this is encrypted text ā¦try to figure out encryption algo ā¦
it is not encrypted , it is encoded. there is a difference.
@skooldog said:
It states that this is āEncrypted SSH credentials to accessā¦ā
in fact, that is misleading. it is encoded only. that is why i donāt like this challenge.
the original challenge description says, āCan you crack the āZIPā folder and get the SSH password?ā
