Over the Wire - Krypton 2

Krypton 2 Objectives The password for level 3 is in the file krypton3. It is in 5 letter group ciphertext. It is encrypted with a Caesar Cipher. Without any further information, this cipher text may be difficult to break. You do not have direct access to the key, however you do have access to a program that will encrypt anything you wish to give it using the key. If you think logically, this is completely easy. Solution ok so the first thing we did was link the file in a temp directory krypton2@krypton:/krypton/krypton2$ mkdir /tmp/asmithkryp2 krypton2@krypton:/krypton/krypton2$ cd /tmp/asmithkryp2 krypton2@krypton:/tmp/asmithkryp2$ ln -s /krypton/krypton2/keyfile.dat  Then we changed the permissions for everyone to have access to the file krypton2@krypton:/tmp/asmithkryp2$ chmod 777 . just like the example on the website now we want to create a file that we will use to run the encrypt binary against krypton2@krypton:/tmp/asmithkryp2$ echo "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
