Hackcon 2018 – Salad Upgrades
We have a string e4uo{zo1b_1e_f0j4l10i}z0ce
. And they used several rotations on it.
By looking at it and assuming that the numbers stay the same I immediately noticed “th1s_1s_…”.
And since the flag format is d4rk{...}c0de
we only have one word left to crack.
f0j4l10i
, for this I downloaded a list with 30000 8 letter words and ran a grep serach with wildcards on them.
There I noticed rotation and knew this was the word I was searching for!
Putting it together we get the flag:
d4rk{th1s_1s_r0t4t10n}c0de
