Tried to find the answer on my own, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong

The black page is a wrong location, as well as the one with “level not found”.

You will know you are on the right page once you will be able to open that txt file… and you are doing it the right way, you have probably missed something, just keep doing the same thing you did for the other levels…

Will do! thanks

No problem, glad to see a ‘well formatted’ question :)

Great! Now on to the decryption haha. When I google it i get pointed in the direction of MD5 decrypters, but I’ve been through 7 now and the closest I’ve come to a decryption is “this MD5 was not found in our database”. and one time this happened:

Unhandled Exception
Message:

Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 262144 bytes)

Location:

/var/www/md5hashing/application/libraries/filedbhelper.php on line 363

I assumed the semicolon was gumming up the works, but still. Is there a preferred method of decryption or a prefered online decrypter worth checking out, or is the problem human error?

lol that error made me laugh hard…

You need to search on google and learn what are the different kind of hashes used to encrypt passwords, at least the most common ones and, from that, you should be able to figure out what type of hash is this.

I wonder if I can get to a thousand posts by just correcting people when they talk about decrypting hashes. It’s not an encryption, people!

Yeah, hashing… It was a typo :p

Cryptographic hash function actually.

Awesome! Thanks for all the help MrCyph3r!

It’s a pleasure :)
Glad that you solved this level!
