so if just one word is it possible to break it with a dictionary attack?

 

You'd have to create a script to strip out padding and try combinations of letters, and then run them through a dictionary.

 

But with that number of hex pairs, you're going to have a lot of combinations, so potentially a lot of random words...

Why is the main image a .png when the background image is a .jpg?

 

Looks to me like there's something fishy about that PNG's header, I've been trying to decode it in C# but I'm getting nowhere... gonna have to leave it a while now, already burnt through my lunch on it!

Also, if you ctrl+A on the .png you get a message saying "The Challenge Continues". Hmmm...

 

Try it in firefox you get that without the CTRL+A

Here is what part 2 says!

There is a hidden cypher in the PNG header.

 

The code is x86.

 

The second page is a VM that needs to be compiled and run.
