Did this yesterday via PowerShell (mostly because my Python just isn’t there yet and I had limited time before I left work).
Thankyou @L4mpje That was fun!
Hi everyone ! I’ve got the flag with “request”, “hashlib” and “re”. But, in the first place, I tried with BeautifoulSoup instead of “re” and its not working.
I’d like to figure out why, can someone contact me in private ?
Has anyone successfully completed this with a bash script? It runs quickly but I must be missing something essential.
Just solved it using bash/curl Script runtime ~250ms
Was a bit of a pain in the a**, as I started on macOS and then ported the script to Kali, but some “macOS specialities” broke the script there in just too many ways
So, in the end I did a lot of debugging using Wireshark, to get it working. Big thanks for that tip anyway (was mentioned somewhere here before), I really can just recommend it.
Although I found the flag using Python, I am really interested in the solution in bash using curl, sed and md5sum. I just can’t seem to get it fast enough, or I made an error somewhere…
