Hello Ive been trying to complete level 10 for awhile now but I cant figure out what a hash is. Ive found the encrypted username and password but I dont know how I would find the hash. Can anyone explain to me how I would do this?

[quote=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function]A hash function is any function that can be used to map digital data of arbitrary size to digital data of fixed size. The values returned by a hash function are called hash values, hash codes, hash sums, or simply hashes.[/quote]

Here’s a hint: there is no encrypted data in this challenge.

@dloser In a perfect world, everyone understand the differences between encryption and hashing method

The hint says “Encrypted passwords can be quite difficult to decode, but when you use a common method there is usually a way to get around it. Especially when the encrypted information are simple common words.” so would that mean that there is a method I can use because there is no encrypted data? Because I tried to just put in the “encrypted” username and password and it didnt work.

@Mugiwara27**: That’s why I keep mentioning it. Bringing the perfect world a little bit closer with every post! :p

@Jacoboco**: The hint incorrectly uses the term encryption. Try to read up on how passwords are commonly stored.

How would I get the hash value? Cause I havnt found a way to get it. If hashes work how I think they do.

Do you mean the hash value or the hashed value? In any case, do some research on the mentioned topics and things should be a lot clearer.

Ive been reading up on it but when I try to crack it on the websites from other forums links it says there were not any hashes found.

rips out hairs from his head

A hash is not “a bit of encrypted text” and you cannot “decode” it. Research it! (And learn to count…)

Go to view page source.then find the text “level 10 pass.txt” past it in your search bar. Then decode the Encrypted password and username.
