Fort Knox

I'm not convinced this works. I've deduced a password that Fort Knox accepts, but the challenge doesn't accept it as an answer.

Yeah, I have the same problem.

Thanks, it works now.

Did the chall disappear or it's me?

Edit:

Maybe I'm wrong but I think the challenge was modified and increased its difficulty.

I suggested a harder variant, and adum put it on the site too, but it looks like he got them in the wrong order...

I see so what are we getting two challs or just one?

There are two challenges now - the original "Forced Entry" challenge is still there, but it's now located after "Secure Room" when it ought to be before it.

So I bet I'm still ranked there, now I only have to pass this one.

i did add another before it, Secure Room, but it's much easier actually than Fort Knox. kind of a warmup.

Sorry, I was mistaken, adum put "Secure Room" up deliberately as a prelude. So there are two challenges now - the original "Forced Entry" challenge is still there, but it's now located after "Secure Room".

Then I'm not getting that Forced Entry chall :/ got the password (from Fort Knox) but dunno what to do with SecureRoom, tried checking for some info at "common" or some kind of logic directories, checked for "common" unprotected files, inj's...

Also tried answering with differents combinations with the message I get I don't think it's the solution but who knows :/

Maybe if either is actually meant to be easier you shouldn't reuse the same database/password.

Post by **adum** » Tue Nov 18, 2008 9:47 pm

the hard way to do it is to log in using the password, then look at what it prints out

Finally got the thing the problem is that now it says I tried it too many times, thought that the solution was the password I got :/ And now that I solved I think that I know the easy way to solve it.

Still could try once the message in and wasn't able to pass it.

Couldn't be possible to have more chances to submit the solution? More than once happened to me that I thought I had the solution and tried it, or that I had a typo on it and couldn't see it :/ I mean a solution bruteforces would make like 100+ in less than who knows 5 mins
