I am a sophomore student who is new to hacking. I completed HDC with only a slight nudge back on the right track, but for this I am clueless as to where I even start or where my goal is. Can anyone provide me with some resources where I can learn the tools I need for this challenge. I do not need hints, I want to learn how to do this but I don’t know what I need to learn.
Sup everybody, I have decrypted the thing and all of that, but when I encrypt it back it doesn’t work. I tried pretty much every combination. Any help would be appreciated… I’m really struggling with this. Thanks !
I could use some help on how to approach the challenge, i’ve tried a bunch of stuff but anything seem to work, i’m starting to get frustrated
Same, I had an idea… but yeah, it probably won’t work… I thought you have to bruteforce the PHPSESSID cookie, so just the PHP session. This is maybe possible just through the browser with some own JavaScript. Changing the cookie, sending a GET request to the profile.php page and saying: if the response isn’t the login page (that’s what you get if your cookie is invalid), log it to the console or something like that.
But yeah… I don’t know exactly how secure the session is… but I think it’s pretty secure… I heard that it was in an earlier version of PHP 160 bits… so it’ll take forever to bruteforce it… and it may be more secure right now… so it won’t work… somebody ideas?
i ve decrypted the cookie and modified it ,but it doesn t work .(I tried a lot of different settings but still no succes), can someone please tell me what i m doing wrong
This was a very interesting challenge. I didn’t know this kind of attack was possible and so easy (with the right tools of course).
Thanks all for the hints that are posted in this topic. Without it I wouldn’t have found out where to start looking. Once you know what the vulnerability is and you know what tool you can use, it becomes relatively straight forward.
I am still interested to see how this attack could be done via BurpSuite. Could someone point me into the right direction?
Im still lost, can anyone msg me with some help. I understand that a cookie must be busted and I have some program to do that. I don’t understand how it all works and if there is something I need to do before hand.
-BUSTER, you better get some PAD thai for lunch
-Then youll have a SUITE of gaseous emissions out of your mouth; excuse your belches.
-Try hard, and be patient because running the first hint can take awhile.
Hi,
I’m stuck with this… I use p**b****r, i decrypt things but i can encrypt… I add the “plaintext” admin blabla but it’s always encrypt 2 blocks and no 4… Someone can help ?
Hi all, I got the following error: “Database Connection Error: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory”. I tried to recreate challenge instance and reconnect but it doesn’t help.
