@Kimmax Tried attach the short string in front(or end), then decode with base64. Got some binary code. Save it in a file, then test with trid. But cannot find file type. Could you give some help?

@Kimmax After base64 decode the long string. Found b'3\x01x\xc8*\xb6' are both in short and long. After remove it, still no clue. T_T

oh geez... I'm thinking this all night. Still cant figure out the answer.

However, find multiple bugs on the devRant new desktop page.

Eg:

console.log;

duplicate input key ('password');

the js code are mixed with tab and 4 space, and not minified;

the delete button is binded to class '.rantlist-delete', which doesn't work;

the http request for fetching badges sending every 3s with unencrypted query string on URL;

@sunfishcc there is no such thing as an "unencrypted query", well besides really transmitting encrypted data. This fields are being protected by the transport layer (HTTPS) and while it might not be common to transmit these fields in a GET query parameter, it's standard to send these as cookies, which are as exposed as query parameters. Just hit up some random site and the chance that you'll see PHP session ids being transmitted is high and they are as valuable as those tokens.

@Kimmax sorry for lack of security knowledge. I'm working on this part. Definitely learn something.

@sunfishcc asking is the first step to learn something new :)

And you're not the first one thinking about that one. I wrote a little bit more detailed post to shed some light on this: https://devrant.com/rants/1256569/

Hope this helps

@rellic absolutely! Keep the result to yourself for now please, I think I'll drop a big hint for others to come in the evening or something :)

Do you think I should keep this target skill level or but some more beef into it?

Okay so here's a hint for everyone who's struggling with this:
Find the missing parts of the two sentences. Combine them to form a new word. The word is a popular service. The short string is the right side of the domain.
To solve the rest you need GPG or similar.
You should be able to finish from here

@Kimmax oh, I did not even solve the second missing word :D I just typed the first word into the address bar to google for some hints and Firefox auto-completed it

@Kimmax Just to be precise, SSL/TLS run on top of TCP (or another reliable transfer protocol), so technically it's above the transport layer, i.e. application layer. I'm studying this stuff now 😌

Kimmax

7y

@MrGrumpyDev while you're not wrong I was referring to the Hypertext _transfer_ protocol, HTTPS being the (application layer?) that transports your data
Points for you tho :)

@Kimmax Well, you wrote transport layer 😋 HTTPS is just a protocol available on the application layer, while on the transport layer there are TCP, UDP, and other (generally) less-known protocols.

Thanks for the points :)

@D3add3d well made, thanks!
To be clear: I didn't mean to raise any questions about 9/11 or similar, it's just a internet meme / joke I thought would be funny to sign as POTUS :)
Thinking of a new challenge right now, maybe something that takes a little more effort to brake
Tagging some of the confused ones, in case they didn't solved yet and still want to see how:
