I’ve also spend some hours in this challenge, got all the information. Analyzed all the tcp.streams … I am not sure I understand the question. We have the connection of the attacker, we see him still the costumer database file. It is possibly to see the content of the file and it stops there. Some other info like the owner of the database file and the user used to connect can be seen. There is customer line that is different than all the others, I’ve tried this and made some manipulations, but without success…
I don’t know which customer might have been affected since the capture stops right after the database is stolen, How can we know what happen after?
It seems that some people solve this, so there is something i am not seeing clearly…
exactly I got stuck there … after several attempts to submit the flag
Gonna leave this here because I think the challenge is not really clear.
There is something in the capture that will stand out. Once you find it, stop and try to decode it using a variation of a well known encoding.

ah ah the hint of the challenge is not really clear, i think too
Since I am getting quite some PMs regarding this challenge, you can solve it in less than 2 minutes by using some very basic tools or cmd pipe combinations, and taking a quick skim through output – you don’t even need Wireshark.
Finally found the flag (my first challenge "owned’), thanks to the hints here. I spent too much time in wireshark analyzing and not enough trying to actually find the flag. It feels silly now how easy it was.
Side note: Is this challenge worth 30 pts or 3 pts? My profile only says +3, which is disappointing b/c I was psyched to finally be a script kiddie lol.
Yea im lost with this. The tips that just say you don’t need to open it with wireshark and just look in the file, aren’t helpful lol. I can see the whole process of the “criminal” logging into the site as admin and extracting everything but I can’t see which user it is. I have no idea what I am supposed to be decoding here.
