old is gold

I’ve gotten into the pdf, but am confused. Is the flag not the info at the bottom of the pdf?

… no, it’s not …

Did you just completely ignore the giant hint that is the rest of the PDF? It asks you a question. Answer that question and the “info” will make more sense to you.

Obviously I translated the info, but I was doing my best to not supply too much info about the challenge. I translated it and it was not accepted as the flag.

Remember to wrap what you translated in HTB{flag_text_here}.

If that is not accepted, you have made an error in your translation.

It seems all caps worked

Can Anyone suggest a good pdf password cracker or similar tool???

HI,

I cracked the pdf password, I know who is on the picture and I know what is that on the bottom. I tried steghide on the picture, is it supposed to always asks for password? I am stuck at this point

yes you need the password for “steghide” to extract the file.
don’t over think, the password is here :wink:

Hi !

I’ve found the code in the bottom of the pdf. I decoded it (manually and with an online decoder) but the flag doesn’t seems to validate the chall.
I used the format HTB{lowercase_password} and HTB{UPPERCASE_PASSWORD}.

Can i send the flag in pm ?

Uppercase and the flag text itself is something meaningful, not gibberish.

Anyone able to suggest a wordlist for the .pdf file ?

Rockyou.

Btw, I found and decoded the code in pdf, but i idk what i’m doing wrong, coz the only anwser i receive is wrong flag.

I put it in uppercase, with and without “_”, upper htb, lower htb.

Idk what to do anymore! I think I need help in here
