WhiteHat Challenge 03 - For001 - Forensics

Problem

This piece of data is captured via USB port, look for the flag transferred through it.

You can use Wireshark to read the file pcapng. Download file pcap here: http://material.wargame.whitehat.vn/challenges/3/For001_61fb3e6d8aa22c75362af02e798331bbf5b73a4b.zip Submit WhiteHat{sha1(flag)} Example: flag = Hello World sha1("Hello World") = 0a4d55a8d778e5022fab701977c5d840bbc486d0 submit: WhiteHat{0a4d55a8d778e5022fab701977c5d840bbc486d0} (all hash characters in lowercase)

Solution

Extracting the zip file gives us a network packet capture usbtraffic.pcapng.

Binwalk returns a text file containing the string "Life is short, Smile while you still have teeth !".

<pre><code>$ binwalk -e usbtraffic.pcapng</code></pre>

Generating the hash returns the flag.

<pre><code>$ echo -n "Life is short, Smile while you still have teeth !". | shasum</code></pre>
