Vencryption

Challenge statement:

I know the flag is in this file! I just cannot open it for some reason...

Solution:

1. After downloaded the file, we knew that the file was encrypted by vim

2. To decrypt the message we can use vim decryptor written by nlitsme

3. I used rockyou wordlist and this command to decrypt the text message

   python vimdecrypt.py --dictionary /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt ~/Desktop/Hacktivity\ CTF/vencrypted.txt 
   

4. After run that command we will get the result like this

   

5. Using vim to open the vencrypted.txt and enter the password you got before

   vim encrypted.txt
   

   

6. After we opened it we found the flag is 'flag{sometimes_it_really_do_be_like_that_tho}'

FLAG: flag{sometimes_it_really_do_be_like_that_tho}
