Another hint regarding this challenge: if you want to find the password, you have to find a special program (hint in the challenge description), which will "calculate" the password instantly. No bruteforce, no dictionary attack, no hybrid attack...
I always compile in cygwin when using windows, it has to work.
The tool compiled fine with mingw, but it always results in an empty password. To make sure I wasn't using it wrong I tried with the parameters from the tool's README, but the password still ends up blank...
If anybody else came across this problem, hints would be helpful!
EDIT: recompiled with VS express 2010 and everything worked fine

Is this challenge solveable purely on linux? I don't have any MS OS.

Windows can be secure... but only if you don't use it

It seems you can solve the challenge without the DLL's if you do a harder research for other tools. But these tools still use "windows.h", so I solved it with Windows XP Pro. Maybe somewhen it works without windows, afaics should the code be portable.
