I have the key, and I believe the passphrase…however when I try and use the key I get “Load Key : invalid format”…so not sure what’s going on there. Tried multiple means of obtaining the key just in case something messed up. Anyone else figure out what’s up with the key format?
A Good chance that the passphrase might be wrong. (I may be wrong). Try verifying. There is a way of confirming that the passphrase is right. Tel me if i am wrong about this.
So I used the passphrase abc, and the prompt was repeated, I used the potential passphrase and received the “Invalid Format” error, so I believe my passphrase is correct.
I guess my main concern is - is there an issue with the key format? I’ve spent a good amount of time just looking at that.
For username, it is specific to the box but you have already seen it in some form if you are at that point. If someone else has said it didn’t work, don’t take their word for it and try it for yourself.
Needing help with this machine, if anyone can pm to talk about it that be awesome, I got what looks like a password from the data dump but nothing else, haven’t been able to guess the username either

Not too user if this helps but you can look up how RSA private key looks like.
Once that is confirmed, there is a way to check if passphrase is correct. Once you know, you can actually extract the information in the private key and view their contents.
how to get the user i got the decode txt and when i try to ssh with it and some user names its not working i tried several usernames names but still no use any hints would be helpful
I’ve got an SSH private key, but cannot find the passphrase. I’ve tried the exploit, but can see no meaningful information there. I’ve tried the exploit with Metasploit and a Pyhthon alternative. I’ve found the encoder/decoder, but don’t have anything to put through it yet. My guess was finding information through the exploit and running it through the encoder/decoder. Please pm me any tips on getting the passphrase! Many thanks!
I am stuck with root. The dirty way is not working for me. Going the proper way, I found one "s"pecial file that makes me believe is the right one. Could someone give me a hint for the proper way to get root?
