This was so much fun! Thanks @swani !!!

I could use some help on this oneā€¦

I can guess/crack all of the passwords, but obviously would take too long considering the amount of zip files.

Everyone seems to be mentioning PIL, but I donā€™t know what that is or how to use it??

Can anyone help guide me with that?

Haha thatā€™s the kind of challenge that once you start you cannot stop even though you know you will spend quite some time on it.

Just wanted to check if it could be done 100% with bashā€¦ Yes sir! 60 lines of code, some headaches, and few minutes to run :slight_smile:

Nice challenge, easy to understand what to do. just needed some coding skillsā€¦ witch I donā€™t have, so I did it in Bash
Big like from here

honestly at the beginning I thought it would be really easy ā€¦ After losing some unexpected hours trying to understand the right pattern I have to admit that it was an interesting and fun challenge.

Instead I envy those who can do it without coding ā€¦ I miss the bash very much ā€¦ If someone were so kind to explain me the alternatives I would be grateful ā€¦

Cheers

Hello,
Does anyone succeeded with a fast solution ? I used PIL and itā€™s so slooooowā€¦
Would like to debate on it :wink:

One of my favorite challenges so far! Spent a day and a half lol, mostly fixing the python code when handling the decoded string, but the PIL part was very easy! feel free to PM me if you need help with your script :wink:

Enjoyable, but it still felt like homework for some reason :smiley:
PIL + bash script, sit back and wait a minute.
Feel free to PM for nudges or coding help

Loved this challenge. I did it with a custom php script just for the fun of it. took me around 30 mins.

Amazing challenge!!! One of the best challanges so far. PM me if you need help

Nice challengeā€¦
I even learned new pythonic ways of handle PIL

I somehow enjoyed thisā€¦ :stuck_out_tongue:

Me Too. This was a blast.

Is there anyone have trouble with file 497 ? My script doesnā€™t give a correct password. I tried to extract the morse code manually, and i got sihhhi************siihssh, but still incorrect.

The trick is you need to make your OCR function adaptable for any change it may happen in the image. Try to see what patterns appear and apply them in order to decode it correctly

My image is not an image (maybe corrupt, I donā€™t know) and I canā€™t understand what it is. Is this a normal? Or it should be an image?

EDIT: solved, probably some error in the file extraction

Quite an easy challenge(not sure why itā€™s classified medium). Anyway it was fun and i got to learn a new python library.

Wow i just did it python with PIL (probably like 99.99% of ppl).
How did you decipher the morse code in bash? iā€™m really curious

Thereā€™s no need for guessing, you are everything you need to extract the next archive you just need to look closer :eyes:.
P.S.
PIL stands for Python Imaging Library.

For those working with Preview on macOS to have a look at the first image: Preview messes with the image depending on your zoom level. E.g. when I fully zoom in on the first png file, it shows a different (and faulty) password.

Really fun challenge, did it all in Python using PIL.

That was extremely satisfying to see the code run at the end haha :smiley:

without scripting, cracking the zip and getting the flag is going to be an ugly job.
python based ocr can help with the iob - GitHub - eauxfolles/morse-ocr: Tool to read and translate morse code from picture.

I really enyiyed it, after 3 weeks of doing this challenge I finished it. I now know morse
