3. Identify what string this is - Base64, decode it to "5695045"
4. Use that number to identify a thread located here: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=5695045
5. Read the title of the thread to identify you will need to use the usertitle of this member: https://hackforums.net/member.php?action...uid=952566

(LEGENDS NEVER DIE)

8: Read the contents of the text file at the end.

Bonus credit which only 1 user got: Analyze the image for the exif data - Try use exif.regex.info/exif.cgi
You will find a number attached  for the bonus credit: "21388"




This is my first one this year. I made this in about 10 minutes or so, so shouldn't be too difficult.

There is a text file at the end which is the final part - however there is also bonus points for the number added on if you can only get that far.

I'll make better ones tomorrow but for now, deal with this. No prize - just a chance to learn something new. It's a very simple one.

You will need to post the text file contents on the thread when done.

Everyone on HF should be able to complete this. No buts.

yup let us know when there's a prize involved.

When I post one in the contest section.
seems great but no idea how to find the text file content.

Good luck anyways :)
I've always been interested in cryptography. Any good tutorials you have that might help us out? From the shit I see on reddit, it's usually embedded somehow into the video file itself or some shit.

Been a while since I did a challenge, Yea we can do something like that.

That would be pretty cool instead IMO

My challenges aren't suppose to be about long complex find the best - they are smaller easier to manage for new users to follow and learn for the next one.

That's why :)

But as I said above with Armada, we shall do one big one.
