Hi. As I mentioned little time ago in Besiege giveaway where you needed to decrypt random .rar passwords to get into a giveaway, I am now making bit more advanced version of that for GTA V giveaway.
As this is a bit more advanced, I made it bit more automated so I don't need to check for answers or post new files / hashes.
I made a small website for it: http://gta.skudra.us, where you can get hashes to decrypt and post answers there as well.

Few things you need to know before start decrypting:

  • You need to register in that site using your SG username.
  • Upon registration you will get Access key which you will need to get hash or post answer. Without it, you won't be able to do anything.
  • All that there is about hints are posted in Help section on that website. There's no point to repost it here.
  • To do decryption you will need any application that decrypts password hashes or .rar files.
  • You get one hash at the time to decrypt so every hash corresponds to .rar file - you can choose to decrypt hash or file - there's no difference.
  • To be eligible for giveaway, you need to decrypt at least 5 passwords.
  • Only TOP 10 decrypters will get invited to GTA V giveaway, but there will be other giveaways for successful decryptions.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask

Rules:

  • Do not ask for passwords here. If you do, you will be blacklisted and won't be able to enter giveaway.
  • You can discuss everything with everyone about decryption or software or how-to. But rememeber - Less people means bigger chances.

P.S.
If you have lost your access key, contact me so we can sort it out.
If you are on my blacklist from before and want to participate, please send me a message and I will remove you for this participation here.

Good luck.

Looking for beta users!

New version of site is in progress, but won't go live so soon. Currently looking for few people who could help me test my site on daily basis. No actions for now there, workinf on design. So, I need few people for feedback on design, site usability, speed, bugs, etc. If you're interested, just PM me on Steam or write comment below. No programming experience required, but greatly appreciated. Beta site will be available here: http://beta.gta.skudra.us. Beta users will receive passwords for access. Thank you.

Are the password words from the english language or can they be anything ?
Also I didn't realise I could see my access key only once and already lost it... sorry ^^

EDIT : ok I got my answer from the help section, I just need my access key now

Oh well...this proved to be impossible for me.
Even if the requested password would be a 8 character lower case letters only combination, it would still take...a lot for a regular software to decrypt. Since i don't know of any other possibilities...good luck to all participants and thanks for the event xD

if you happen to solve all 7 passwords that are in database for now, which i doubt, there will be an error. if you encounter something that shows an error about array_rand function, just comment under this comment

Looks fun and well-organized...I'm excited to participate!

Would it be possible to add a leaderboard to show how many passwords each registered user has solved?

I remember trying some of the Besiege ones and if this one is harder, I guess I'll pass on this one.

hopefully r9 300x series gives GTA V as the game in AMD rewards so I don't need to do this shit. You also didn't give me the link on besiege on the previous bruteforce event.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask

Game titles include console games? Only Steam games? Also I don't understand the other two themes... lyrics? names? Authors? Links? And the Steamgifts part.. I have no clue :/ parsed text? From all the threads ever created?

Not having much luck with 6a1A_2 myself. Have started bruteforcing, which for 7 letters takes quite a bit of time at about 15500 p/s.

May i ask which os and which cracker you use ? I am having seriously problems getting john with opencl support running under windows.
I only get about 1000 p/s with crark bruteforcing (opencl) , but dictionary speed is at about 140 max.

I'm using a CUDA-based cracker for bruteforcing. The speed is insane compared to using CPU and it doesn't overheat. Also using a freeware application that can do dictionary searches and bruteforcing, but only 30 minutes of cracking at a time, and when it succeeds I only get the first 2 characters of the password, but that's enough to quickly search through the dictionary to find the right words, or I can just switch over to the other application and bruteforce the last letters since it's a lot faster once you've eliminated 2 letters.

All in windows, but I did use Kali Linux on a virtualbox to generate a wordlist for steam games.

Thanks, found it. It's not really faster bruteforcing as the tool i tried before, but dictionary attacks are about 5 times as fast.

And solved. Would have solved it 1 hour ago, it was actually on the next Bruteforce-attempt that I had queued up. Have been doing one starting letter at a time based on how common a letter is for a word to start with. Takes about an hour per letter, but since it's taking so much juice from my GPU and CPU the computer lags a lot when I'm running my tool and I wanted to do some stuff on it. =P

Next one (7a) went down in a few minutes after that.

Still hanging my 5th 7a1n (the only one with a number), but i solved 14/17 so far, so i have this going for me, which is nice, i guess...

Some are easier than others and can be solved in minutes. And since it's random which ones you get you might have gotten a few of the harder ones to start with. :)
