Jetty Password Utility Class

Because Java makes you feel dirty I re-wrote it in python as a stand alone utility:

# Jetty Deobfuscation Tool

import sys

def d_jetty(ct):

	pt = ""
	b = bytearray(len(ct)/4)
	i=0

	for x in b:

		t = ct[i:i+4]
		i0 = int(t,36)
		i1 = i0 / 256
		i2 = i0 % 256
		x = (i1+i2-254)/2
		pt+=chr(x)
		i+=4

	return pt

if (len(sys.argv) == 2):
	raw_ct = sys.argv[1]
else:
	print "Jetty Deobfuscation Tool v1.0"
	print "./jdt <string>"
	exit(0)

print d_jetty(raw_ct)

To set up this project we have to have an idea of how much is needed each year. If we go on the basis of renting a space in Belfast (we’re assuming this is were the majority of people will use the space) then you are looking at between £250-600 per month, depending on size and location. Then there’s electric, heating (for the winter), internet access, rates (do we get discount for non-profit organisation?), insurance, general maintenance, bog rolls We’re basing it on a year as rent/insurance etc all need to be signed up for a year and we dont’ want people bailing out 1/2 way through and leaving the others to cover the costs!

Here’s a rough tally of costs:

From this we reckon it’s going to cost £8800 per year to run a space. To generate this sort of money we’re thinking of setting a guide of £300 per year for members. This seems a lot (and it is!) but if you break it down it’s only £25 per month. If we can get 20 people to cough up £300 then that’s a good part of the costs covered (in principle)!

We’ve also thought about going to local tech companies for a “donation” to help fund the space. If we got 10 companies donating £250, that’s a good chunk of the goal met. What to they get for their money? The chance to help local guys meet, come up with ideas, work on project and learn new skills. Skills that they might be able to call upon.

We’d also thought about selling items, t-shirts, recycled hardware etc, but this might be something we have to put on hold until after the “goal” is reached. If you go back to the theory – the goal has to be reached within the time limit, or no money is taken.

So, we’ve started a plan, we need your comments/suggestions/corrections. This is the part where we need your feedback. If we don’t get enough feedback from you guys, we’ll not even bother setting up a project and a goal. If you think the costs are too small/big, let us know. If you think that £300 for the year is WAY to much, let us know. We need your feedback.

If you’re interested in programming, like to take things apart and see what happens if you mess with hardware, or want to know more about some of the the pitfalls of network and computer security (as well as how to prevent them), come along and mess with a group of like minded people

The success of these hackerspace events depends ENTIRELY on your support. If you want Belfast and NI to have a hackerspace, please show your support!

For those of you stuck on the cyber security challenge:https://cybersecuritychallenge.org.uk/docs/cybersecuritychallenge.txt here’s how I did it:

First, the stream of characters is a base64 encoding. When you decode it you get a jpeg image:

If you follow the url you get the original image, but the new one contains something extra… a border. If you look closely a the border you’ll see it’s a stream of blocks…. perhaps binary? The best way to see this is to convert the image to monochrome bitmap, erase the original image, leaving just the border and then cut and paste the borders into one image. The order of the borders is important – read clockwise from top left (i.e. top is as is, right rotates 90 counter-clockwise, bottom rotates 180 and left rotates 90 clockwise). This leaves us with this:

If you view this file in a hex editor you’ll see it contains:

If you look closely there’s a lot of “04″… perhaps this is a common letter? In fact this sequence “6e04d2042f” makes me think the 04 is a space, and D2 is a letter, perhaps “a”? If we go off the presumption that 04 is space, and lookup the ascii code for space, it’s 32 (0×20 in hex). So how to we convert 0×04 to 0×20? Shift left three times! (Thanks to otaku for the suggestion to use rotate). Use the following hacky perl script to convert the text:

sub conv{
  my $hex = shift;
  my $bin = sprintf "%08b", hex($hex);
  my $bin_rev = substr($bin,3,5) . substr($bin,0,3);
  $new = oct("0b".$bin_rev);
  return chr($new);
}
my $s = ...encoded_string...
for ($i=0; $i<length($s); $i+=2){
  $x = substr($s, $i, 2);
  my $hex='0x'.$x;
  print conv($hex);
}
