Can someone assist little ol’ me. I have hints but I cant quite grab the solution. Thanks

pm me

Hi, I’m also stucking with this one. I got the initial encoding and I have a clue what the next thing is, but I’m not sure how to do it. Can someone PM me?

pm me

Thanks, got it =)

any one can help me please. how to slow second step.

I found another write up on this, and hopefully I won’t leak so much to make this a spoiler, but it is encoded. And after you decode it the “random” string you get isn’t random. Research the name of the challenge as related to operating systems and go from there.

i think I’m stuck, can anyone help me please?

■■■■! Is not limbo!

I’m stuck. Any headsup please?

To anyone working on this, Inferno doesn’t refer to the OS. That pure gibberish you’ll get after decode isn’t pure gibberish, it’s useful.

Can anyone give me a push to that?

hi all, i new with this type of challenge, some hint for acquire the know, link, video, tutorial, writeup

There are some Esoteric Programming Languages out there. Find Them!

Liked this one, I would suggest researching the challenge name or watching Elementary Season 1, or PM me for hints.

What helped me solve the challenge, was the above comment and the only clue we always have.

I found the challenge a bit dumb because it has several libraries, encryptions, etc with the name of ■■■■, I had to test several until I found the correct one that in the end there was nothing, this challenge and a divine comedy

i just did the challenge, it says 20 points but i got two, wy may this be ?
I did note that all the challenges i have done has a little (!) box which say “please rate me” when i hover over it.

Am i only getting two points due to the fact that i havent rated something (i did put a rating on it when i submitted the flag) :slight_smile:

Thanks for the feedback.

*i went back and gave it the thumbs up etc, but that still didn’t change the fact that i got 2 points instead of the 20 indicated. what have i misunderstood ?

edit
so apparently theres a formula.

No. The formula for challenge points calculation is as follows:

challengePoints / 10

it is hooray! first steps is very obvious, the second takes some thinking, unless you are an esoteric programmer… :smiley:

anyone needing hints PM on HTB.
