After e-mailing the Hak5 team and forum members you realize something isn't right and decide to investigate... Stage 1 - Challenge 1 Rank: EASY Points: 5 Skills: Google, Basic ASCII knowledge, Basic encoding knowledge. You open your e-mail client and receive an urgent message from Hak5Darren The message reads: V2UgbmVlZCB5b3VyIGhlbHAhIEl0IGFwcGVhcnMgRXZpbCBTZXJ2ZXIgaGFzIHRha2VuIG92ZXIgaGFrNS5vcmchIEl0IGlzIHVwIHRvIFlPVSB0byBzYXZlIHRoZSBIYWs1IHNpdGUgYW5kIGZvcnVt cyBmcm9tIHRvdGFsIGRlc3RydWN0aW9uIQ0KDQpUaGUgd2Vic2l0ZXMgb2xkIHBhc3N3b3JkcyB1 c2VkIHRvIGJlDQoNCktNQlRneXVhLSp8TE0iXA0KDQpqRXMoN1p4RWlDPkZQJjUtNA0KDQpyd3k7 MSs2cldgUTFkLg0KDQphbmQNCg0KYChjZzZ4cE5RcjA7Ig0KDQpUaGVzZSBtYXkgY29tZSBpbiBo YW5keSBsYXRlciENCkNoYWxsZW5nZSBDb2RlOiAxMURlbHRhMkMxNC04MDEgKENoYWxsZW5nZSAx KQ== HINT: Think ASCII and encoding HINT 2: SIXTY FOUR Stage 1 - Challenge 2 Rank: EASY Points: 5 Skills: Google, Basic Cryptography. After reading the contents of the e-mail you proceed to hack into the Hak5's server with the information provided. After getting access you notice a text file with the following contents: 71f3714b1d31d32f17c74ff9af536247:5a979bef1aad79a4e01489ac4b58173e Stage 1 - Challenge 3 Rank: Medium Points: 15 + 5 bonus points if you find an Easter egg hidden. Skills: Packet Captures/Wireshark, ARP, google. As you look around the file system you discover a file named "Username Database.zip". You also notice the second file is a TrueCrypt volume. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3374394/User%20Database.zip HINT Not everything is as seems. Remember all of True Crypts features! More to come.

Infiltrator Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 How long is this challenge running for? I just need a little bit of more time, to complete the last part. Part 1 and part 2 are completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deleted_Account Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 How long is this challenge running for? I just need a little bit of more time, to complete the last part. Part 1 and part 2 are completed. The challenge Will be running until all stages are complete. Stage 1 will end when a total off 55 points can be earned. After that who ever has 55 points will move on to the next stage. Stage 2 stays open until stage 3 opens and so on. The challenges are going to get more difficult as well. I approximate that stage one will be open for a good week or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infiltrator Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 haha did the first one and completely failed on the other two. I tried looking up that LM hash on the internet and failed miserably. All the website that I looked it up on, said something about it not being valid. So I'm still torrenting some LM rainbow tables to give another crack at it.

digip Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) Download ophcrack and get the tables. if you get an error downloading the tables from source forge, try http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/ophcrack/tables/ and http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/tables.php (hint: not going to do everything for you, but gets you on the right path ;) ).

But I am not sure what causes the issue. I pulled that format from a good source. I guess some sites don't work that well :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess some sites don't work that well :P Well, given I was able to crack it, and you verified, it was a valid hash key. Just some sites might not have the correct hash type to crack or correct tables. Everyone else just needs to try harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
