LittleBigDick:mehn cybersecurity through practice is the real deal, there's no greater joy than practicing what you've learned... over the years playing ctfs has broaden my skill set by applying them in real life situations, that's what ctfs helps u to accomplish. i have a team, we've been playing ctfs for a year now, if you're willing to join ours |

| Programming / What Do The Top 1% Of Software Engineers Do That The Other 99% Do Not? by Hamzasaid(m): 2:26pm On Sep 16, 2022 |
~found this answer on quora~ Imagine you are a product, and you want to sell yourself to your manager for the highest possible salary. You’d want to Know your customers Know what you’re selling What are you selling? John solves LeetCode questions in 10 minutes, and codes fluently in C++, Python, and HTML. He joined Google as a new grad, and was immediately assigned to refactor legacy code. He wondered why he was getting boring work after his straight-A performance in school, and toyed with the idea of going back to school for a PhD. To John’s manager, John was a coder. That refactoring project needed a coder, and John fit the bill. Manager Mike had a few more projects that needed doing. He needed to replace the decision engine with a machine learning model. Obviously he needed a machine learning expert for that. He needed to fix the emerging crisis that his VP was pinging him about. For this, he needed his fastest, most reliable engineer. And he needed a tech lead. For that, he needed someone with excellent technical judgment, great stakeholder relationships, and an eye towards growing junior colleagues. John didn’t get these tasks because he sold himself as a coder. And because John was a coder, Mike gave him the tasks that required no other skills. Top 1% engineers know what value they bring to the table, and sell it to customers in sore need of that skillset. Who are your customers? Dan joined the team, and was none of these. But he was less interested in who he was, and more interested in Mike. Mike was constantly stressed. He worked nights and weekends, and he was most stressed at the end of each quarter, when he had to report on how close the team was to its metric goals. Dan was also given refactoring work, which he completed quickly. But he knew that Mike really needed to hit those goals every quarter. He came up with an idea, and ran a bunch of SQL queries to show it would bump the team above its quarterly goals. Mike was intrigued, and asked his team to work on it. The wins were delivered as promised, and Mike breathed a sigh of relief. Dan’s wallet got so heavy he needed a new pair of pants. The best engineers feel when people around them are struggling, and use their skills to sell them a solution. Dan could have sold himself as a SQL expert. Instead, he was the guy Mike could rely on to make sure the metrics went up. Engineering, like every other job, is a customer service role. 1 Like

Bandit Level 12 → Level 13 Level Goal The password for the next level is stored in the file data.txt, which is a hexdump of a file that has been repeatedly compressed. For this level it may be useful to create a directory under /tmp in which you can work using mkdir. For example: mkdir /tmp/myname123. Then copy the datafile using cp, and rename it using mv (read the manpages!) Commands you may need to solve this level grep, sort, uniq, strings, base64, tr, tar, gzip, bzip2, xxd, mkdir, cp, mv, file Solution As you can see, this level sucks. Luckily, once you get used to each command, it goes smoothly, if not quickly. You want to start by moving the file to the /tmp/YourName directory so that you can work on it with write permissions. You must then use xxd to convert it out of a hex format and back into the compressed format. From there you use the file command to determine what sort of file it is. In this case it is a gzip file, so we rename it to .gz then use the gzip command to uncompress it. This process basically repeats for an absurd number of times using gzip, bzip2, and tar. Eventually you will run the file command and it will tell you that you have an ASCII file – happy days!

Bandit Level 11 → Level 12 Level Goal The password for the next level is stored in the file data.txt, where all lowercase (a-z) and uppercase (A-Z) letters have been rotated by 13 positions Commands you may need to solve this level grep, sort, uniq, strings, base64, tr, tar, gzip, bzip2, xxd Helpful Reading Material https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rot13 Solution The command used to solve this is a little bit difficult to explain but I’ll give it my best shot. What we are doing is piping the output of data.txt to the tr (translate) command. In the tr command we are telling it to turn the set A-Z and a-z into N-Z,A-M and n-z,a-m. The reason for splitting the translated alphabet up is because we need to shift everything down 13 characters, meaning anything coming after N has to go back to the beginning (S becomes F). If you are interested in this sort of thing, there are a number of great cryptography resources out there that start off simple (rot13) and get much more advanced. command::: ( cat data.txt | tr 'A-Za-z' 'N-ZA-Mn-za-m' )

Bandit Level 10 → Level 11 Level Goal The password for the next level is stored in the file data.txt, which contains base64 encoded data Commands you may need to solve this level grep, sort, uniq, strings, base64, tr, tar, gzip, bzip2, xxd Helpful Reading Material Base64 on Wikipedia Solution This is a relatively straight forward level – you simply need to find the command to decode base64

Bandit Level 9 → Level 10 Level Goal The password for the next level is stored in the file data.txt in one of the few human-readable strings, preceded by several ‘=’ characters. Commands you may need to solve this level grep, sort, uniq, strings, base64, tr, tar, gzip, bzip2, xxd solution There is no right or wrong way to go about this. The method below is simply what I have found provides the cleanest, clearest output. We start by using the strings command which is excellent at parsing these sorts of files. If we only run that, we are still presented with dozens of lines of text to sort through. Instead of trying to do that on our own, we can pipe this output to grep and search for a few = signs. This gives us the password very clearly.

Bandit Level 8 → Level 9 Level Goal The password for the next level is stored in the file data.txt and is the only line of text that occurs only once Commands you may need to solve this level grep, sort, uniq, strings, base64, tr, tar, gzip, bzip2, xxd Helpful Reading Material Piping and Redirection solution You must first sort (using the 'sort' command) the data which places all identical lines next to each other. Once that is complete, you use the uniq command with the -u flag to only display strings that are not duplicated.

Bandit Level 7 → Level 8 Level Goal The password for the next level is stored in the file data.txt next to the word millionth Commands you may need to solve this level grep, sort, uniq, strings, base64, tr, tar, gzip, bzip2, xxd This level introduces two new commands, grep and pipe. The pipe character tells the system to take the output of the last command run and use it as the input for the next command. Grep is a command that allows you to search within text for a given string.
