This second season lab is really cool but I got stuck on question 8 about "Identify a token on one of the ports", is there any hint you could give me?😄

    Question 8? (sorry, the way this chat thread is laid out, I'm not 100% sure which level you're saying you're stuck on? ;-p). Anyway, I had some weirdness with this one - I think there's a random service listening on a high'ish numbered port which spits tokens out - only, I seemed to kill it with some of my nmap scans, so it wasn't always there... ;-D The easiest way I found to get it was to just scan the box with nmap and "-sTV -p-" - then look for the section at the end of the scan where it says it can't recognise the service and dumps a load of data relating to what it saw when it was trying to connect, the token is obvious in that... 

    Or, if nmap doesn't kill it (YMMV) - you could just connect directly to the IP:port with netcat and view the token that way...
