picoCTF Walkthru [5] - Information

[@vadon8993]

Dude , this is the best channel for PicoCTF and understanding other parts of hacking. I was looking through writeups of PicoCTF levels and barely any shared their thought process on what they did , just the correct method. And you learn so much more watching your videos then just how to get the Flag , thank you for your time you put in and showing the different methods you do. Your vids are very, VERY nice to watch. Keep it up man.

Can't tell you how much it makes my day to read feedback like this! Thanks! Glad this is helping you.

[@greyether777]

Thanks Mike...I wouldn't have gotten that one without your help. That was pretty extreme for only being 5 flags in geez...but yay, more to come! We appreciate you!

[@mike_on_tech]

No worries, thanks for the very nice comment.

[@BukHari-i2i]

haha completely agree, was waiting to see a comment saying this a bit...

[@xpwnstar6079]

I'm loving these guides man! Just created a picoctf account among with another called learnctf. Kepp up the great work!

[@mike_on_tech]

Hey thanks! This is my first comment (and subscriber!). It sounds silly, but means a lot to know someone is getting something out of this. If anything doesn't make sense, ask in the comments and I'll do my best to sort things out.

That was a great information man ,thankss !!!!

[@mike_on_tech]

No problem!

[@roshan2017]

what did you type when asked for passphrase? Is that something you added, or passphrases exist for every file?

[@Jebly_5555]

I don't...exactly understand the point of learning this in abstraction. As a beginner some of these random flags on pico are just wild. I just learned about base64 yesterday and it sucks I didn't know what an image License is supposed to look like because I feel like if I did I would have stood a chance. This video taught me some cool stuff though. Thank you.

These challenges are all about understanding how computers work at a deeper level. The point is to get some exposure to many different areas. You're not going to remember it all (I don't), but when you encounter something like it, it starts to trigger some recognition.
