Longbottom misc challenge

gorongoron
in Challenges

I know what the code does.. bit weak in crypto things .. My option is to bruteforce for the passphrase(offcourse signed in HMAC way with encryptedHTML as secret) that matches the existing encryptedHMAC string satisfying the if condition. But i have exhausted all my dictionaries. Still no luck?.. Any hints here?..

    This is not a crypto challenge man. This is a misc chal.

    but the code does some crypto things.. so went in that way. Am i in wrong direction?

  • w31rd0w31rd0

    i think it requires some python stuff from a quick look

    If I am right that you used a python tool for solving it as crypto, then you are not on the right track.

    you are staring at the wrong picture, there is more than an index file.

    @felli0t
    Nice challenge, it brought back some memories :)

    @d4rk3r I did understand the images.. about longbottom.. his full name ... also harrypotter linkage... no luck still

    @goron
    I don't know about that. This is what I did:
    I read the code > understood the rabbit hole > did something > got flag.

    Take your way into using binwalk also for some lets say specific file, there is also something better to see than the actual index.html

    i believe he has retrieved that piece of data. or at least the one i found as it is the python related..
    right?

    Does the AppleDouble file is useful to something?

    I've found some lists, but I'm completely clueless on how to proceed.

    try a good old Google-search. It's a specific kind of compression

    Stuck too... =(

    Cannot seem to identify how python could help to settle a seemingly unordered list of weird characters..

    Google one of the strings you find in the text? Might not be the first or second line.. Some kind of compression is being used. Up to you to find out which one exactly
