You need to save the text file, then rename it [removed]
Open the file again and the answer is [removed] :)

If you look through the list in verath’s post you will find one related to what you see. That will tell you what file type the file needs to be.

So renaming the extension type and opening it caused a decode error. Did I change it to the wrong file type?

Luke [flabbyrabbit]
12 years ago

2

I would imagine so, it should open fine if you are using the correct program … so setting the right extension should allow it to be opened

Serpens

I’ve tried it in multiple applications and it says that it’s either a decode or parser error.

Never mind. I had to change the way my pc displayed the extensions so I could change it for compatibility.

Are you using windows 7 with extensions hidden? That can be a common problem.

Serpens
12 years ago | edited 12 years ago

2

Yeah that’s what it was. Just turned them on and fixed it that way. I was saving the file as the new extension from the Save As dialog originally.

Luke [flabbyrabbit]
12 years ago | edited 12 years ago

2

Ahh, glad you solved it by yourself.

For everyone else:
Windows 7 hides file extensions by default in Windows Explorer. To show extensions go to Organize -> Folder and search options, click the view tab and uncheck “Hide extensions for known file types”.

Hi.
I don’t really know how to pass this one.
I saw that BM6 is 42 4D 36 <what’s this is the username or something?
What should i look for in the Hex?

I saw that BM6 is 42 4D 36 <what’s this is the username or something?
That should tell you what kind of level it is, and then you should know how to open it. Many kinds of files have “signatures” in them, just like these. You should be able to recognize atleast the most common ones…

Translation in French:
hum, excusez moi mais j'ai ouvert le fichier b1.txt et je trouve “BM6” apr une note de musique et pleins d'autres caractes

If you know what kind of file it is, then change the extension to the correct one and open it… One scenario when it doesn’t possibly work: if you
1. click the link
2. select “open in notepad” or something like that
3. select save as … and save it as local file

using this method the notepad can corrupt the file… You should instead click the link with rmb and select “save link as” (or something similar depending on your browser)

As verath said “http://www.unfiction.com/dev/tutorial/definitions.htm should provide all information necessary to solve the level.”

open the file in notepad and go to the link verath provided and read the page. If you figured it out and the file gives an error
then read what daMage said
“If you know what kind of file it is, then change the extension to the correct one and open it… One scenario when it doesn’t possibly work: if you
1. click the link
2. select "open in notepad” or something like that
3. select save as … and save it as local file

using this method the notepad can corrupt the file… You should instead click the link with rmb and select “save link as” (or something similar depending on your browser) “
just in case you don’t know rmb=right mouse button

You download the file (right click -> “save link as..”)
then you open it (with normal editor) and look with what kind of letters the whole thing starts
then you check which of the page verath send before fit: http://www.unfiction.com/dev/tutorial/definitions.htm
and now you just have to rename the file.

now i just took all the information here and put it together if this helps you really should learn how to get all the information by reading.

EDIT: If i said too much I’m sorry..

Try to renaming it before you are saving it on your pc.
When you save a file, you immediatly save it right?
How can we change the name of the file before placing it on our computer?
Right click> Download as.. will give you the ability to change the opportunities.
Open hex editor and look what it says: “BM6”, try to know what this is and
you will have your answer.

@noone: If you open the link in notepad and select “save as”, you’ll probably end up with a corrupt file. Try using the rmb and selecting “save link as” (or something similar depending on your browser.

@Picasa: Try to identify the file type, it obviously isn’t text, even if it has an extension .txt

every type of extension has a distinctive feature in txt format, you can search up the distinctive features of file types or something and try to identify the features with the ones in the document.

A Simple hint,
I have been reading few funny things, one of them was about a student who had a paper assignment that he forgot about, the day he needed to deliver it, he copied the mIRC.exe file, renamed it to assignment.doc, put it on a floppy and gave to hi teacher, the file did not open with the teacher so he gave him a chance to deliver it the next day.

the student went home, did his paper and got away from “F”.

maybe what you face is the same, only different type of extensions.

Read what BM6 means by google it. Once you know what the file is, think about the file extention, is it a txt file or should it be something else.? How you do you save files that need an different extension? Once you figure this out, open the file.. what do you see

(thats how i solved it)

I wasn’t on about you Wibben I was on about shiv mate sorry if you thought I was getting at you. I wasn’t :) Anyway the level is too simple for a hint; You only needed to check out the first three characters in notepad or something like it and you would have known it wasn’t a text file, it was a BMP file.

And I’m not being funny here, but to be truthful, if you need help passing this level you should try something else. Knitting maybe?? In fact if you use Opera on the level Opera converts it for you and displays the answer right in front of you. :) But saying that so does all the other browsers.

use this in the browser: https://www.hackthis.co.uk/levels/extras/b1.txt and it will display what the file is.

Analyze the file, you should know the “truth” about the file.
If you dont know what your doing, google a little bit.

So I just completed this challenge, and I found out the solutions for the challenge are mostly outdated or not usable in windows 10. Just a hint for normal Windows 10 user like me, here is what you can do.

identify the file you downloaded, http://www.unfiction.com/dev/tutorial/definitions.htm will give a good hint on what you are looking at.
After identify the real format of the file, since most new applications or windows don’t read this particular file format anymore, you can try download File Viewer Plus to continue with your challenge, link below.

Well I’m on windows 10 and I still don’t need any particular tool to get the answer, maybe a bug on your computer ? Or maybe you didn’t think to modify a little thing. Did you check the solution section for this level to know where you might have been “wrong” (the important is that your solution worked but I don’t think it was the most efficient way to complete it)
Congratulation for solving it anyway !
