Deadly arthropod

It is really worth mentioning that copy and paste is an issue for the solution. I spent the last 3 hours attempting to copy/paste the correct answer in only to have it rejected. I read the post from Cryo (above) tried typing it directly in and it worked a treat. Great Challenege though!!

i’m stuck, can someone help me pls. i got the 2 strange codes. tks

_one!>>>>>>>>>>>Loved_this : )

I’m stuck with this can anyone point-me the right direction? I got the mail address the supposed flag (doesn’t work) and a bunch of other strings than doesn’t make sense to me. This is my firsts challenge but I’m stuck. I can share in pv all the flags that I have. Thanks

Hello, I’m quite sure that I’ve found correct flag HTB{sentence that makes sense, with different letters}.

$ echo “HTB{flag}” | md5
83d503dab85f76722949bbc48282aec4

Could someone confirm or deny? :slight_smile:

deny

Can someone help me, i have the got 3 string, one email address and other stating as password and third could be the flag, but not taking tried to reshuffle it but still not working. Can any one please ping me for the help please

i think the challenge is to rearrange the output. you need to “carefully” rearrange all the output back to normal. i’ve encountered several times where my final arrangement is not correct

Solved it.

Hints.

  1. Follow the arrows, like when you type on a keyboard.
  2. The flag it’s case sensitive, this means you need to find the pattern of uppercase letters.
  3. Be patient!

So, i’m new to Forensics, the file was a .pcap which can be opened using wireshark. which i did open. after that i din’t get whats next. its just like some usb trafic happened which is most are usb interrupt in, which i think we need to ignore. can anyone help me understand stuff

When you’ve hit a wall, question your assumptions.

Can someone PM on the scrambled (output) line of text? Like what method to use? I have theory but it does not seems to add up.

Update: Got it. Literally follow the arrows…No need to overthink.

Do some research on this stuff if you don’t understand it. John Hammond on YouTube has a pretty good video explaining it. :slight_smile:

I must be missing something, i got something, a sentence that makes sence, but still not matter how i try to format it with uppercase and lowercase its doesnt work. could someone give me a slight hint on what im missing…?

I’m having the same issue everyone else is having with syntax. I have the flag and could use some help formatting this correctly.

I had the issue, too: Got something that looked like a flag but wasn’t valid. You do not have to guess anything related to formatting: Check the information in the trace again - maybe you haven’t fully utilized all the bytes? I had actually not processed all information and has discarded a detail that was important when I had this ‘formatting issue’.

I just figured it out before your comment. I was ignoring some things before certain keystrokes that played a key part in determining case. @deleite 's hint helped me out.

Aloha folks, who can give a hint?.. I’ve already decode the text but I can’t figure it out the flag in special the arrows :frowning: … PM cheers

Final hint to arrange flag… I Got the sense sentence but with error introducing. I changed comma for an apostrophe and some changes more with no succes

Can someone PM me, please. I have the flag, but not sure how to shift it :frowning:
EDIT:
Got it - hint —>, <—, —> :slight_smile:

Great challenge.
