hint with the raining blood stegano challange

@briyani said:
still unable to crack this one. tried all possible stegos. hex, spectro layer, image. what am i missing? :frowning:

spectro layer ? s-layer ?

I picked this challenge up today, you can do the whole thing with a binary that comes with most systems (that I’m aware of) to get the first step in this challenge. Try searching for “Basic UNIX file investigation” if you’re stuck.

Any online tool can help you finish the challenge from there once you find what you are looking for. As always feel free to PM for help.

I got stuck on this one yesterday, came back to it today with a fresh head and solved in minutes.

In addition to what has been said already, my tip is don’t rush anything and be thorough.

Don’t overthink and be patient with the step you take. PM me if you need more hints.

Guys, I just need to go take the trash to the bins, then walk to my neighbours to get dinner. When I get back I’ll tell you the tool :wink:

@Bvsty are you saying that the only tool we need to solve this is the tool you will tell us the name of after you take the trash to the bins and then walk to your neighbours to get dinner?

-.- (In a way, yes, but not the only tool needed)

Welp, I got it. It was about patience. I had the right commands, just not patient enough, or thorough enough, with the command. I should go to great lengths to find flags in these challenges sometimes. :wink:

I knew what you were getting at lol. I liked it. Some of these hints are more appreciated after someone has gotten past that point and looks back.

Flag FTW! ROFL! it took some basic thinking on stegano but this tool is in *nix OS.

Do The Basic steps…And Find the flag slowly…
Hack The Box

Jihaa, I’ve found it rather fast (I dont get the slow hints ?).
and I even didn’t notice the picture in the mp3 till after I resolved it :slight_smile:
A fast content search got my attention on a familiar string format :slight_smile:
(I would like how others found it)

Seems like I have to ask for some help. I did the basic steps… But how slowly should I look for the flag? Do I need to use any readable data inside the mp3 file or this is just about the contains only? Need to know where to focus on

Never mind, I got it without help. Some Unix commands help to find the flag faster
