My 50 cents to it. I hope it’s not too much spoiler. If so, please feel free to delete it.

Your recipe has two ingredients. The first one should be obvious because of RSA. For the 2nd one think of buying some balloons for a party and what you need to do with them before the party starts (= reversing what evil guys often do in their code for example to not being detected by some SIEM or perimeter rules).

Last, but not least: ignore the markers.

I read your hints and now I’m even MORE confused, lol! :smiley:

so i managed the challange after 3 day…
my first thoughts was to do something q and p and i saw the creators comment so i eliminated that one.
tried with op…s… but that didnt work so i went over to the cheef but the cheef didnt wanna cook any thing nor baking.
found the reason to why it didnt work and honestly i woudlnt figure it out if i didnt got a nudge from @mdghost .thanks mate

so if you find the right way to make the chef do the cooking then go over and ‘OPEN’ the file

thnkas @x41 for the challange

Right. Except, you are the chef. :wink:

true but sometimes the chef dosent know if he should use pepper or salt or both…don wanna screw the food with bad recipes :smiley: :smiley:

If you know what’s the tool to bake your recipe, the hint from @v1p3r0u5 is enough to solve this challenge :wink:

You’re right, hint from @v1p3r0u5 have all ingredients to cook this challenge, thank you @mrnfrancesco and @v1p3r0u5.

@time2p1ay you are welcome. Hope you liked it, even if it seemed to be harder than intendet.

@Z1LV3R That’s true. ^^

edit: got unstuck.

I enjoyed it, got me to use some new tools, and learnt stuff going down ‘wrongish’ path.

Is “the tool to bake your recipe” a common one? Something normally included on Kali for example? Or is it something we have to find? Is there any blog post or other material relevant to this kind of thing I could read up on? I’m completely confused on this challenge after a very long time and many rabbit holes and feel pretty stupid.

Oooh. #facepalm. You gotta make that balloon expand in a manner of speaking.

Got it. Man, I am an idiot for having dived down so many rabbit holes for so long with this one.

Good challenge! Hopefully I’ve learned a lesson here. :slight_smile:

I think I found the tool that allows me to choose my recipe and bake it.

Do I need to edit the input to have a valid asn1 structure?
I’m stuck on if I need to change the input, what’s the methodology

this challenge is kicking my ■■■, can someone nudge me a bit. i know what tool i’m supposed to use, but i have no idea what to look for

Follow hint from @v1p3r0u5 and combine tool to bake… It’s so easyyyyy!

Can i PM anyone for a small hint?

I Think i solved it without doing the second receipt can someone pm to confirm with me if i did it intended !

Finished, very easy with @v1p3r0u5 's hint, but not sure if I’d ever have gotten it without that. Maybe I just need to recognise patterns more.

Hi Guys,

Can anyone please help me with the tool? Please DM. Much appreciated. Thx

I got stuck more than 2 week. Thanks for your challenge. Balloon I will memorize it for long long time. LOL

Hello guys, can i have a hint please, im really stucked on this chall. Thank :wink:

EDIT : The key is unusable. I always have an error when i try to use it…
