Mission 0x50

🔎 Solution

After establishing an SSH connection as the user ava, the next task is to find Maria's password, which is "somewhere."

ava@venus:~$ cat mission.txt 
################
# MISSION 0x50 #
################

## EN ##
The password of maria is somewhere...

Actually, Maria's password was discovered in a previous challenge, specifically Mission 0x40. The password is the Morse code string found in the wtf file obtained from the user adela:

.--. .- .--. .- .--. .- .-. .- -.. .. ... .

Using this password, SSH into the user maria:

ssh maria@venus.hackmyvm.eu -p 5000

Viewing the contents of the specified file reveals the flag:

maria@venus:~$ cat flagz.txt  
8===ZLNu1CHYSYf0PvkK2iqS===D~~

This completes the first chapter, Venus, successfully:

maria@venus:~$ cat mission.txt 
################
# MISSION 0x51 #
