Old is gold.

Any hint on cracking pdf ?
Dont want to burn my cpu, i got only one

got the flag, unsure of formatting i know itsHTB{…} but its not accepting any of my formats

Edit, that was sneaky… and dumb on my part

That had me for 2 days.
well played, sir.

For anyone struggling with cracking the pdf: don’t brute force the pdf’s hash, use one of the most common wordslist and run a dictionary.

For those who don’t know what to do with the content of this pdf:
“Look closer” was the best hint, like really, really close.

crack the pdf with well known wordlist and get the flag from extracted file :slight_smile:

pm me if u need help :slight_smile:

I cracked the code but the flag won’t submit. Any hints?
