Modern Encryption: Demonstrate Your Skills
Hello autom8on,
Many thanks,
I tried as you suggested but still not getting the token_1.txt.
Hi Dark_Knight666​, I also struggled on this one. You need to change the -a to -e and -salt to -nosalt (see full command below)
openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -e -pbkdf2 -nosalt -in plaintext_1.txt -out plaintext_1.enc

Dark_Knight666​ no worries, glad I could help! Same here, only reason I saw your post was because I had been looking for the same answer before figuring it out😂

Hello Immersive Community!
I was wondering whether anybody else may have been or is stuck on Q7 for this lab? So I have the encoded key from - Token_1.txt but when I try it doesn't seem to like it? I've also tried entering it manually but to no avail.
So if I'm correct I need to input the encrypted file - encrypted_file_3DES.enc and have the output as a - .txt file so I can retrieve the token?
