Yeah I couldn’t get the file to open with sqlite, but the flag was easy enough to find with strings DoNotTouch | grep HTB
Fun challenge, it was fun to write a script again.
I do have some questions though. If anyone’s good at bash scripting, please PM me. Having a little trouble with one part of my script and I’m not sure why.
Obviously something went wrong, I solved it yesterday. Make sure you have nesessary software to open the file. This is SQL database, you can use SQLite in Linux, e.g.
A bit late here.Not necessarily true. Notepad++ worked for me. No need for a SQL software.
Also to the guys/gals that used python scripting: I wrote a simple python script in Python 2.7.9 that used ZipFile. The thing is, that it was a bit slow extracting the files. Not slow like after the 300th zip file in, right from the start. Is it normal and how can I optimize my procedure? Anyone that has any info can send me a message.
And a last thing, I also found that rockyou had at least half a dozen false positives before I stopped it. I just used my intuition and picked the most plausible one. Good to know that any other attempt would corrupt my file.
