Another Help thread * Perl *

Pm me and I’ll see if I can help you

Actually I don’t think that being too fast is an issue…
I’m sure @Mugiwara27 will help you out on this!

In my case, when one of my scripts doesn’t work even though it should I just take a break, because in my experience I realized that most of the time it is just a little error or typo, so little that even if you read through your code thousands of times you’ll not find it unless you come back with a fresh mind.
To give you an example recently I was working on a program and by debugging the code and the variables everything was perfectly fine, except that the program was not working as expected…. lol, the error was that I was still returning an old variable in a function and that messed up the code, I felt soooo noob :D

Yeah your probably right… Mugiwara27 did help me, although he does not know Perl, he showed me a Javascript example. I would still like to sort this out with Perl as It should be possible. If you know Perl I would be happy to PM you the code. Thanks for the interest. Bye the way have ever used Wireshark to sniff this site? I cant seem to get the SSL Root cert to work.

Yeah it is definitely possible, you can complete the challenges with any programming language….
You can send it to me and I’ll check it when I get back home later.

About Wireshark, you may be a little bit confused… with Wireshark you don’t sniff a website, you just sniff traffic that goes through your interfaces. I’m not sure on what issues you are experiencing, if you can be more specific…

Ok I will PM you with it. Regarding WS (the traffic was what I was implying). I cant seem to decrypt the ssl traffic even when I use a master key or add an SSL decrypt key file. Have you successfuly used wireshark to decrypt this site traffic?

Thanks

To decrypt SSL traffic, you’ll need the server’s private key (and I doubt flabby will provide it ;)). It is also possible if you have other data from your browser for the specific session (like the shared key that is computed), but that might be harder to come by and probably not supported by WireShark.

It’s probably easier to intercept the data before encryption, either by using your browser’s dev tools (assuming you are using a browser) or some kind of proxy.

Thanks dloser that settles it for me. I found a way to output the headers in my perl script without the use of wireshark. I was hoping it was possible to do without the private key, I knew it was unlikley. Cheers.

Do you know Perl at all?

Sure; you can PM me too if you want. There is a chance I will ask you “why the hell Perl?” though… ;)

Yeah…I don’t know. I picked a language. Im not employed in the computer world so I really had know idea which language to choose. I hear Python is the one to use.. maybe I will look into it now that I have the basics down.

Im Closing this thread. Thanks for the help guys. Especially dloser for pointing me to the obivious. Im going to try to complete the next level in Python instead.
