Someone might have hidden the password in the trace file.
Find the key to unlock [this file]. This [tracefile] might be good to analyze.
This was a kinda random challenge, using strings
on the .pcap
file I got a lot of random stuff but in between it there were a could of messages of interest:
Flying on Ethernet secret: Is this the flag
iBwaWNvQ1RGe1Could the flag have been splitted?
AABBHHPJGTFRLKVGhpcyBpcyB0aGUgc2VjcmV0OiBwaWNvQ1RGe1IzNERJTkdfTE9LZF8=
PBwaWUvQ1RGesabababkjaASKBKSBACVVAVSDDSSSSDSKJBJS
PBwaWUvQ1RGe1Maybe try checking the other file
Well basically I thought that the string:
AABBHHPJGTFRLKVGhpcyBpcyB0aGUgc2VjcmV0OiBwaWNvQ1RGe1IzNERJTkdfTE9LZF8=
was a base64 string but decoding it seperatly got nothing, and well if the file said: "Could the flag have been splitted?" I tried arranging:
iBwaWNvQ1RGe1, AABBHHPJGTFRLKVGhpcyBpcyB0aGUgc2VjcmV0OiBwaWNvQ1RGe1IzNERJTkdfTE9LZF8= and PBwaWUvQ1RGesabababkjaASKBKSBACVVAVSDDSSSSDSKJBJS
One after another to get something.
When I decoded the string: iBwaWNvQ1RGe1PBwaWUvQ1RGe1AABBHHPJGTFRLKVGhpcyBpcyB0aGUgc2VjcmV0OiBwaWNvQ1RGe1IzNERJTkdfTE9LZF8=
in cyberchef I got the output:
...(garbage)This is the secret: picoCTF{R34DING_LOKd_
Well using it as the password to unlock the zip revealed a file which had the flag:
picoCTF{your flag}
