A buddy and I (@grimmvenom) have been trying to tackle Cartographer after successfully solving Learnean as they appear to be similar brute-force based challenges.
We’ve been unable to identify any additional information against the target in order to better tailor our brute force attempts except for the name of the challenge itself. We have been trying a 10 line userlist combined with the first 10k passwords of rockyou.txt in our brute force attempts, totaling 100k guesses without success. We’re basing our ‘success’ response on the lack of a loginform div in the HTML source. We’ve previously tried Content-Length as an indicator as well.
We’re thinking about creating a custom wordlist with hashcat and replacing cartographer with every leetspeak combination possible for the next time we try this challenge (we do a weekly meetup).
Any tips, hints or feedback on how we can better approach this challenge ?
Hey, is anyone willing to make themselves available for me to check my current direction of travel with at all? Don’t want spoilers or obvious gotchas on here, but would appreciate someone who has been successful sounding me out.
Thanks in advance.

A useful check to keep in mind for a lot of things is: if something doesn’t work, what’s different between the methods? Check the response that wfuzz/dirb receives and see how it differs with your browser. What can you change to make the environment between them the same?

I’m using Burp Suite’s Intruder feature to fuzz the URL, however I’m not getting any hits and not sure what to check next. All the status’ are 200 with Not Found in the response. Same results with wfuzz. Any hints?
I read all your posts and I am having hard time to solve this CTF because I am also new to CTFs. The thing is that I tried Fuzzer and dirb in any possible way including changing the parameters (e.g. /panel.php?FUZZER=FUZZER or FUZZER.php?) but still dont work. Can someone either PM me to just tell me what I am doing wrong I dont want the solution straight ahead but just tell me what I am doing wrong. Thank you
Could someone point me in the right direction? Tried bruteforcing user, sql inject. Fuzzed the urls and found panel.php, but it is a direct redirect. Tried to fuzz any parameters in the form of FUZZ=FUZZ but also did not succeed, now I am stuck.
