Hey my dudes. I have an issue with I know Mag1k.
Basically I was running Padbuster and I started to get an Error 500 so it couldn’t complete.
But now even with the VM stopped/restarted and fresh cookies put into the script it’s stuck on the 500.
Is this expected behaviour for this challenge?
I don’t want to post spoilers if I can avoid it
Do you mean the script itself was giving an error? Because the way the attack works is that it’s supposed to receive 500 very often. You can PM me 
It’s all solved now. There was a network issue with my Kali install. Cheers
This happened to me too, I just let it work itself out and it went back to decoding after a few fails.
