A writeup of the Hack The Box challenge “SpookyPass” with very easy difficulty

SpookyPass (very easy)

This isn’t a machine but a zip file with a password that is given to us.

When extracted there is a folder called rev_spookypass

Inside this folder there is an executable file called pass

Opening the file in VScode: well, unreadable.

Looking at the file via the terminal:

It is a ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable.

Executing the file ./pass

Oh and I have the password with this command strings pass | less which gives the readable text to us in the file.
