Buzz buzz, can you find the honey?
From the title of the challenge, I assumed that it was visual basic, so I renamed it to vbs, tried to run it, it failed. I googled Visual Basic file extensions and found .vbe, I ran it and it went through some popups until the flag appeared
Flag: flag{f805593d933f5433f2a04f082f400d8c}
This movie is what pushed me to get into hacking. Good luck decrypting my note, I'm elite.
There are two files provided with the question: notes.txt
and hackers.txt
note.txt
is a text document with a flag in a 4 digit numerical format
hackers.txt
is the script for the movie Hackers
I thought it would be similar to a book cipher so I googled a book cipher decoder and clicked on the first link: decode.fr/book-cipher I input the data into it and it returned the flag
Flag: flag{62D869C6B886DAC2DD743086E451F76B}
