ur question - is your answer :wink:

I got the code but i cant submit it :anguished: Help me please

LOOOL i put double dots by mistake

first to change base64 code then you get the binary code. and then binary to ascii. easy

My fastest challenge yet, very fun though, felt rewarding and easy 30 points!

Okay, something is not right, I did that, I have the ASCII, I can read it. I added it to the HTB{} but it is not working :confused:
Edit: Ignore this, something was strange, I refreshed and it worked

u r very close …only 2 steps remain… this is encrypted text …try to figure out encryption algo …

it is not encrypted , it is encoded. there is a difference.

@skooldog said:
It states that this is “Encrypted SSH credentials to access…”
in fact, that is misleading. it is encoded only. that is why i don’t like this challenge.

the original challenge description says, ‘Can you crack the ‘ZIP’ folder and get the SSH password?’
