Description

There was an attack against the web server. Directory and basic auth brute forcing occurred.

100pts

Question

Analyze the packet capture file to find out whitch user had a weak password that allowed the hackers to authenticate.

Password is the flag.

Solution

I only used a very lazy, but in this case effective, solution to this problem. Since I knew that the answer was likely to be in ctftech format I just manually searched for login attempts. I did a whireshark search filtered by the http.authorization parameter. I then quickly just scrolled through the packages until I found the right package.

Tools

  • Wireshark

Flag

ctftech{passwords-r-weak}
