as an example it would say "Enter the hash for: "a e o k m" (without spaces/quotes)." and it gives me 10 seconds to do so.
but for some reason i cant get it to work. Am i just being an idiot? i have tried a few ways of getting the hash such as web sites and the linux commands "echo -n "aeokm" | md5sum" and "echo "aeokm" | md5sum".
it gives me a perl script as a hint but for what i can tell the script just finds "a e o k m" on the page and removes the spaces and then hashes it. here is the code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# a little hint for either the manual or the automatic solution <img src='http://www.governmentsecurity.org/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
use Digest::MD5 qw(md5 md5_hex md5_base64);
while ($l = <>) {
$l =~ s/[\n\r\t ]+/ /g;
if ($l =~ /hash for: "([^"]+)"/) {
$str = $1;
$str =~ s/ //g;
$md5 = md5_hex $str;
print "\n\n$md5\n\n";
}
}
If anyone has experience with the challenges on this site and have an idea what i am doing wrong your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
