How to solve CTF challenges with unknown ciphers?
In this short video I'm showing how to find and decode unknown ciphers used in CTF challenges.
This is not a typical writeup! The priority is to explain in more detail about the vulnerabilities and tools that can be used to solve similar tasks.
In this video you can learn how to run mc86 machine inside of Minecraft world, how to analyze the code that build Minecraft commands and how to seek for the unknown visual ciphers using dcode.fr website. It also shows how amazing Minecraft and what are the results of procedural generation of it's virtual world elements.
