Shark on Wire-Traboda - Forensics- CTF - Write-up
CHALLENGE DESCRIPTION
Lara sent me a file which had some hidden message. Help me recover the secret information.
Flag Format: shaktictf{...}
Reading the challenge description first thing that came to my mind was strings command.
strings -print the sequences of printable characters in files. It primarily focuses on determining the contents of and extracting text from the binary files (non-text file).
command line to be executed:
strings network1_d6d54cf2-cf7d-4520–81f66efde2105968.pcapng|grep shaktictf
At first, I executed strings command without piping. A bunch of texts showed up. I found it very difficult to find the flag from them but when I piped grep command along with strings command. 🏁 became more like a piece of 🍰 for me 😆😜…
flag for challenge: shaktictf{wir3sh4rk_i5_ju5t_aw3s0m3}
