 Hello everybody, this is a video writeup for the challenge ethical hacker for 30 points in the hack con 2018 competition. It says you are an unsatisfied employee of a mega corporation unhappy with your current salary. You decided to steal all the unrounded half cents from other employees paychecks. Oh, but you have to hack into the payroll department first and override their security mechanism. What command do you enter? So, this was an awful challenge in that it's kind of just guessing and determining the reference that this is referring to. I'll admit I am not the one to have solved this from the team that I was playing with. Again, I played with the discord server that it has a link in the description if you want to join us and play other competitions coming up, a nighthawk, ICTF stuff that's coming out soon. So get excited and please join the community. So this challenge again is a reference to a movie that may not be noted by everyone. So it is this scene in Superman 3 where stuff occurs and this individual or this actor is hacking into whatever mega corporation stuff that they're dealing with. The thing occurs around I think two minutes in where he's on a terminal and he types in the command override all security with spaces and all caps. And that literally is the flag. If we were to take note of that, we would note our flag as the flag format dark override all security and then code as the rest of the format. I cannot submit this flag and prove to you right now because the game is off, but take my word for it. That is the flag that you would submit and get 30 points. It was a cheesy, stupid, miscellaneous category challenge for 30 points. And it's just a matter of knowing that, I guess in culture. I don't know. So you can mark that challenge solved if you want, but not a whole lot of technical skill there. Kind of knowing stuff. Quick special shout out to the people that support me on Patreon.
