Just starting a thread for the new challenge
Fun challenge. Thank you greenwolf!
You need to connect a few dots (all avaliable within the archive provided by author) in order to solve it.
It should be easy if you solved We Have a Leak challenge.
Also, I’m starting to get familiar with this SuperSecureStartup, might drop them my CV.
I’m going to be that guy and ask:
“iS BrUtE-FoCinG ReQuRiED !?!1”
(serious question).
No bruteforcing.
That was mine initial idea, but no.
It was easy, but i think that it need more hints in its description, if you solve “We have a leak” , it’s more easy, but it’s not a clearly all clues or that seemed to me, and you need to come back to twitter, thos i did it
I solved this challenge without even once visiting Twitter. My solution did however involve a small amount of brute forcing though, so maybe that’s an unintended route.
@Xentropy
I would really like to know more about your bruteforcing approach.
I don’t see a BF path that wouldn’t take ages.
Nice challenge. If you have any problem I strongly suggest do “we have a leak” first, it makes this challenge a lot easier.

It’s less bruteforce and more intelligent “guessing”. I meant more that I did end up having to use a guessing attack in the end, even if the amount of guesses to make was relatively small.
I did some “small” bruteforcing as well for the last step, couldn’t be bothered to look up the correct information because I am fed up with that twitter page.
I think this challenge might be a bit too easy and not different enough from the previous ones.
I think that I was missing a key detail but I used BF based on the info that I had
update… looks like I had the right info… I was just trying to dig too deep where there was nothing. if you have the right detials you should be able to guess it in a few tries.
Flagged! Would love a senior dev’s responsibilities for junior’s pay!
Great challenge, got stuck at some point but from there, it got a lot easier.
I don’t think bruteforcing would work anyways, just focus on the files you have and try to find information.
Is the password somehow in the txt file or in some tweet? I know who I’m looking for but I can’t find anything helpful. I already worked with that txt file but it seems useless until now.
the actually PW is not, but the pattern is… hope that is not too much info

Ha, not sure which of the twitter pages your talking about but i feel like at this point i know them all forwards and backwards…
good challenge.
A warning to anyone using Open office: Try a different program.
I use Open office 4.1.1 and it doesn’t know what to do with the .docx file, it sent me down a deep rabbit hole before I try something else.
Nevermind, got it
very simple , just a little bit info from Twitter
