Really awesome challenge. I struggled a bit after getting the file, which I figured wouldn’t be protected at all, but after that everything went fine. LOVED IT!
I keep getting a corrupted file. Any hints?
ONe of the best challenges I have ever solve. Wasn’t that easy but I learnt a lot!
Fun one and not crazy hard. Really enjoyed it. Happy to give hints via DM for anyone struggling.

Very nice one!
This was a really well-crafted challenge. Each part followed on from the last nicely as you work through it, and it all made sense. Kudos!
Real fun challenge thus far. I think I’m close to getting the flag but could use a hint. I don’t want to spoil it for others here, is there someone I could PM for some feedback?

Nvm, I found the flag. Thanks for a great challenge @artikrh I learned a lot.
An interesting machine. The foothold is the hardest part. After you get the shell is just code understanding.

This is the thread for Obscure, not Obscurity
Great challenge. easy to follow, fun to decode, and learned to use about five tools if not more. No gotcha steps, a couple red herrings, fun to think about and execute.

Absolutely! Directory fuzzing doesn’t give any clue. Am I missing something?
Do I have to de-obfuscate the s****t.php file? Or must I use the PCAP?

You have to use both to solve, read the challenge intro again
@artikrh i almost had no prior knowledge to php ¯_(ツ)_/¯ but the challenge helped me learn a lot . The description is well written and clear with no random guessing. So a big thank you
Thanks for this challenge, by far the funnest one I’ve done yet
Hey guys. I managed to decode the commands but unable to extract k**x file. Can anyone please give me nudge? Thanks in advance
