Hack Challenges

OK, we have the book week just around the corner, at school. Ankur has been working hard for Hackslash, a competition mocking various online hacking practice sites, like hackthissite . I have been visiting miscellaneous hacking challenge sites since then. I found some cool challenges at corruptcode and hack4u.

At hack4u, I’m stuck at a cryptography level, which says this -

3GHR KDUDK HR DMBQXOSHNM A@RDC
8NT MDDC SN VNQJ NTS SGD /@RRVNQC
.MBD XNT G@UD SGD “.11$”3 /@RRVNQC DMSDQ HS ADKNV

3GD /@RRVNQC HR +@VM,NVDQ”NCD

I used an online Caesar Bruteforce decoder, Yellowpipe Encryter/Decrypter, which decoded it to something like this (rot-1) :

3HIS LEVEL IS ENCRYPTION B@SED 8OU NEED TO WORK OUT THE /@SSWORD .NCE YOU H@VE THE “.11$”3 /@SSWORD ENTER IT BELOW 3HE /@SSWORD IS @WN,OWER”ODE

The last few words seem to say – “The password is LAWNMOWERCODE”. I’m damn sure that this is the password. Tried both cases. But no success. Damn. Great! I’m stuck at a level since 11 hours at a stretch now, and this stupid site has no help, or forums at all. Darn it.
