Level Info
Welcome to Krypton! The first level is easy. The following string encodes the password using Base64:
S1JZUFRPTklTR1JFQVQ=
Use this password to log in to krypton.labs.overthewire.org with username krypton1 using SSH on port 2222. You can find the files for other levels in /krypton/
Solution
From the level information, we have the password which is encoded via Base64. We can use base64 -D
to decode the password into plaintext.
$ echo "S1JZUFRPTklTR1JFQVQ=" | base64 -D
KRYPTONISGREAT
Afterward, use the following information to login the server.
- Username: krypton1
- Password: KRYPTONISGREAT
- Host: krypton.labs.overthewire.org
- Port: 2222
Done!
