JaredKat wrote Nice path - a bit more clever than I. Well, good on you, just a little frustrated that something seemingly so simple in hindsight kept me back

You have no idea how frustratingly hilarious it was to watch you guys try to solve this step, especially with everyone over complicating it so much (trying to go back through the entire contest looking for clues, and trying to hack the server itself).

With the hints, I was not necessarily trying to point you to DirBuster specifically (although that is the tool I used myself). I was only trying to point you to the http protocol, and specifically the .php extension with hopes that someone would catch on and piece it together.

Regardless, I'm impressed with the results. You all did well

Based on your screencap, I ended up looking through the web application utilities in Kali to look for anything that had a similar interface and ended up focused on w3af - it seemed to have the functionality I was looking for, if not wrapped in many other features. Never got it to work as on kali it has a bug where it'll freeze up, and I never got around that.

Well, props to Tortuga for sure on that.

tortuga, congratulations on completing this contest! Now I can finally delete all this crap from my computer! Until next time!

Huge congrats Tortuga! In the end a lot of us were stumped by simplicity. I'd never used dirbuster before either, but it's nice to have that now as a part of my arsenal for next time.

Speaking of which, @speed this was a great contest, if you're doing any more like this again, I may re-materialize myself for the occasion

Tortuga definitely deserves the win there hahaha didn't understand 1 word, hard luck everyone.

Congratulations on the winner!
