So, you got the encrypted password. Do you know how the password is encrypted? What was used? How you can reverse that? Those are the questions you should ask yourself.

Hint: Reread the mission description if you don't have a clue and go Googling.

" I noticed everything they used was 10 years out of date "

but where is the hash to get it the hidden directory only have the encrypted password

(edit)
sorry i did it i thought it is have to download a file
never mind its done

So I'm pretty sure I found the right hash. The only problem is Cain & Abel is doing some very sketchy permission related stuff on my computer and I can't do anything to the ca_setup.exe file that I downloaded from oxid. JTR was too complicated for me and the decryptors I found online didn't help in any way. Unless someone knows how I can get C&A to work properly I guess I'll just skip over to Mission 6

Can you right click on the .exe and choose run as administrator?

[justwilliambrown]

I can crack the hash with JTR, but for two probs.
1. what algorithm is it using to encrypt it
2. HOW ON EARTH do you get the hash?

please pm me either answer

"When I hacked them I noticed everything they used was 10 years out of date and the new password seems to be a 'message digest'"

So, you're probably on the slightly wrong track. You got a pretty strong hint in the text about the hash type.

[mookalovesgloop]

i did it!!!

best hint...if you're having problems figuring out what kind of encrypion method was used, try opening some files in xvi...also, if at first you don't succeed, BRUTEFORCE lolol

peace

Try using MDCrack. You'll have to run it using command prompt like John the Ripper, but I found this easier to use (didn't give me any error messages). It doesn't require installation (unlike C&A).

I found a file in the *i* dir which seems to be a unix executable, anyone knows what it is for, and if I need it at all?

[limdis]

The only thing that should be in there is the *a** which yes you will need lol
