Porygon's Packet Capture
solution.md|21 lines(1023 B)
#HINTS:
- Porygon didn't use encryption; it sent everything over raw HTTP web requests.
- Wireshark has a built-in feature designed specifically to automatically harvest files from web traffic. Look under the "File" menu!
#METHODOLOGY:
-
Open the provided 'traffic.pcap' file inside Wireshark.
-
Look at the protocol distribution or apply a display filter for 'http' to verify that web traffic is present in the capture.
-
Instead of carving the file manually out of raw TCP streams, use Wireshark's automated object extraction feature:
- Go to the top menu bar.
- Select: File -> Export Objects -> HTTP...
-
A new window will pop up showing a list of all files transmitted over the unencrypted HTTP connection.
-
Look through the list for a suspicious filename (e.g., 'stolen_flag.png' or 'classified_data.txt').
-
Click on the file row, click "Save", and choose a destination on your computer.
-
Open the extracted file to read the flag: hackemon{p0ry_g0t_caught_v14_http}
