Cleartext Confession

Easy 10 pts

A capture from a small office network. Somebody signed in to the intranet over plain http://, which in 2026 is its own kind of confession. Their password is the flag, sitting in the capture exactly as typed.

Hints

Open them in order. They nudge, they do not solve.

Hint 1

Requests, not responses. Try http.request and read the Info column.

Hint 2

A password is submitted, not fetched — so it is in a POST body. Filter http.request.method == "POST".

Hint 3

Right-click that packet → Follow → TCP Stream. The form body is the last thing the client sends.

The capture

Forged on this server. Open it in Wireshark, or run tshark -r cleartext.pcap.

You can solve it now, but to save the solve you need an account. Sign up or log in — it takes ten seconds.
