I doubt if it was really your own creation.

learntohack.org also has a challenge very (too) similar like yours.

I dont get the challnge ?This is just a plain text file with the password written in it.or am i missing somthing ?

You're not missing anything, that's all.

 

The only sucking part is which one is the real one

 

But... to help you guys. do this if you think you got the real thing

If you think the password is foobar

lol i got the basic idea from them and read up on how to make batch files so i made my own so i uess u can say tech its not my own but in a way it is. i think this will be the last one for a LONG time as im gonna make my own web page one.

The only sucking part is which one is the real one

roughtly translated into pseudo code, this challenge is...

if password is "myPassoword" then print "correct"else print "try again"

maybe hacking challnges should need ot be approved similar to tutorials ?

no maybe i should learn more batch codes lol so i dont have to look to other challenges for ideas but i guess everyone does when they first start off (give me props if im right lol) As for now use the idea that jipman provides ull get it very easily.

YAY!!! I solved it!!!
Is this right: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ (first letter to everyword)

This is not correct

nope.
This isnt really a hacking challenge, just a test to see if you can understand the script.
open up the script in notepad.

if you have ever used dos, or any other programing language its quite obviouse.

Hold on, I got it right, I'll PM it to you qwijibow cause you are saying i got it wrong

[qwijibow 0]

the password in the pm was correct, but not the one you posted.

I know, the one i posted was the abbreviation because i didn't want to give it away, can I make a "try to hack into this archive" challenge?

Aslong as you set it up yourself, and are capable of breaking protection yourself, then yep.
