I downloaded a PDF file that I can view, print, modify … but can’t do a simple text copy.
From a brief search I could not find how this was achieved.
I have tried with macOS preview app and chrome’s pdf viewer.
On the preview app I get … Continue reading Can view/read a pdf content but can’t extract text [migrated]
Today this came to my attention.
When generating random secrets for e.g. JWT (in node.js the most common way is using the crypto.randomBytes() method), I have noticed a lot of people save these tokens in a base64-encoded manner (i.e. crypt… Continue reading Randomly generated secrets: encoding the random bytes in base64 vs keeping them
What would the results of this command line be? Does not appear to be Base64. UTF16 translates it into some form of kanji, but who knows if that’s reliable. Also tried to throw it in an encoding identifier in dcode, but it just spit back B… Continue reading Is this Hex encoding; system codes; or some kind of Base64; or, something else? [duplicate]
A question requires you to submit a flag and our team has already
shared the flag below. However, in the process of sharing the flag,
they wanted to make sure the confidentiality is intact, so they
encoded it somehow. They consulted the c… Continue reading Decode the data and get the flag from it [closed]
I’m signing my messages using my code below:
def sign_msg_hash(self, msg_hash: HexBytes):
signature = self._kms_client.sign(
KeyId=self._key_id,
Message=msg_hash,
MessageType="DIGEST",

I’m learning Web Pentesting using Juice Shop and I successfully used Burp Suite to generate an SQL injection payload in the repeater that exposed the plain text email and encoded password of the admin.
By using Burp Suite Decoder, I decode… Continue reading Burp Suite: alphanumeric payload decoded to base64 exposes password, but as an encoded string

I’m conducting tests using hashcat and find it very difficult if the hash is encoded.
See the below function which takes the plain text, converts that to the bytes, creates the SHA512 hash and then encode to string.
static string GetSHA512… Continue reading Cracking UTF encoded hash using hashcat
Im not asking about the numeric key values. The math of generating Public=(e,n) and Private=(d, n) is straightforward. What Im curious about is how something like this gets generated:

I found a HTML injection vulnerability but there is an issue.
The following request returns the following:
