hi.i have found the clue. how to i get the password to get to it .Thanks

The first part is easy enough if you know your filetypes and have a good eye

Any hints at all on this password (not the challenge password, if you know what i mean) guys?

Write a program.

But it was my understanding that...

That and the fact the only way i know of brute-forcing one of those is at 10 passwords/sec as there is no info out there on it :cry:

At least that's what i think you mean by "write a program"...can't think of anything else lol.

Write a program to analyze the image for clues.
This challenge really isn't that hard

Sorry, but now you have me completely lost :roll:

lol

I may be good, to some degree, but i ain't THAT good

I'm not sure how to ask this without it seeming like a spoiler. So, hopefully the following makes sense to anybody that has solved this mission. I'm dangerously close to the solution. But, I seem to be stuck at a point that is reminiscent of doing blind SQL injection, metaphorically speaking of course. And, I'm wondering if the guessing game is a part of this, or if I haven't examined my given resources well enough. Thanks.

I suppose it is the final password. And for the "intermediate" password, supposed
to lead to a clue, I have no idea , apart from brute force. But this is too slow ...

No need to brute it, and the 11 char password idea is wrong, i think

i think it a kind of true.
i write a program. i compare with orj file.11 thing is different but some of them together.
pass must be 8 char.

i find the differences there are 3 type diff. 100 1 256 but i don't know what to do.

You're almost to the point that I'm at on this one. Just remember, that sometimes what you find, isn't as important as where you find it.
