@mckinley Didn't crack the password yet!
@adi Think outside the comment box:
Is anyone interested in the puzzle? Is it just too difficult?
@mckinley Oh is this a challenge? 🤔 I have to say this is new territory for me, can you give some guideance/hints? I'm a total n00b at this 😂

@prologic CyberChef is a tool that does all kinds of file conversion and you can make "recipes" that perform several operations in a row on the input. That string in the root post, which is exactly the twt length limit of this pod, is a string of text that has gone through several reversible CyberChef text operations. If you want to give it a try, you need to use the hints I've given in this thread, the tools available in CyberChef, and any information you uncover along the way to deduce the original string. To get you started, the first format is base64. :
@adi you don't need to. There are two files. One is special.
@prologic highly recommend using CyberChef for this!
@mckinley i passed the flag capture and went directly to your blog noting the panasonic toughbook. those and this post brought a tear to my tired eyes
@mckinley So far I can only determine that it is some kind of compressed archive that _might_ contain a file.txt in it, but I can't be certain. I'm actually not really that familiar with CyberChef, it looks pretty cool though, probably just need to get used to it!

Base64 hints if you want them
For @ullarah: VGhlcmUgaXMgYSBwYXNzd29yZCwgYW5kIHRoZXJlIGlzIG9ubHkgb25lIGZpbGUgaW4gdGhlIGFyY2hpdmUu

I definitely made this one too hard. If you want to try some easier ones, take a look in the JavaScript console of CyberChef. There's a whole series of these challenges made by the developers. :
Do we have weekly CTFs now here? I guess I need a pc for this.
@mckinley I'm not sure I can solve this. I _think_ I've gotten as far as I can, but the password? Hmmm 😅

I keep getting errors like:


Unzip - Array buffer allocation failed

@carsten It's not a weekly thing. I'm not experienced making these as you can see. I just thought it would be fun.

@mckinley Okay got the contents of the file.txt, but is there more to this? the contents makes no sense 😂
