SSH private key hexa values  Go to the Anderson Application Auditing challenge

Hi there, while solving this challenge there's a task about generating a suitable private key. Just to be sure, when there's said "the first 4 and the last 2 hexa VALUES", it means the first 8 hexa DIGITS and last 4 hexa DIGITS, right? (I.e. one hexa value means 2 hexa digits)

One hexa value means 1 hexa digits. Maybe I have to rewrite that part. By the way if you solve the harder 8 and 4 hexa digits, you can pass the chall as well ;)

I too am at that part and ahve 3 of the secret words already. Thanks for clearing that up, it's made the task a little easier anyway.
I am enjoying this challenge alot its very unique.
The MD5 checksum matching had me stumped for a good half hour then it took me another half hour to solve it.

Hi-ho.. best get back to it

Thanks again.

I misread that part, and was going for the bytes. Left my pc 28h running to get as close as possible. When I had 82% quality, I decided to stop it and leave an irritated message here that it's sort of impossible, no matter what parameters you add. Seems like I have to punch myself in the face instead.

82% quality, that's great

Thanx to thesaxfan and Vampire, the solution checking for this part of the challenge is online as well, so there is no need to wait for me to check it.

Thanx again

Anyone knows an equivalent for Windows ? I don't have Linux unfortunatly.

As far as I remember you can solve it via cygwin

Hum.. a new tool for me but it looks promising. Thanks !
