UPDATE: escrow.ms has solved the riddle! Prize was sent.


Here's the puzzle data:

Hints:

• /usr/share/dict/words is your friend.
• Numbers!

Now, bring me the words. Post here if you think you've found them.

I'm just going to guess it's an sha-256 hash of a word ^^ The numbers are probably appended, prepended, or a multiplier for the word that's used.

I really can't be bothered with any more wordlists today.

That's pretty damn close.

Winning! I'd have a go at it, but that numbers clue just leaves too much to the imagination They could also be substituted for similar letters and I also don't have a great cracking machine unfortunately.

Looks like a sha256 hash. Type the code in the text field at the following website:

http://crackstation.net

Click the submit button. After request goes through, page indicates that the result of the first line is 228082. Don't know about the rest.

Ha! Too Funny - I was in the process of using that website as you posted this!

But since all of the answers are numbers, I don't think it is quite right.  Those results are only for unsalted hashes.  jaxkr hinted that the cleartext should contain words.

Now need to find what these number means.

Answer: An act of nature, and we'll never fully understand it.

I think these are block heights

[escrow.ms]

I think these are block heights

or it has something to do with dictionary in linux  /usr/share/dict/words

Maybe word/line number or something else.

I checked and looks like there are only 25000 words there

I've got almost 100k in mine, haha. I guess the wordlist is distro-specific. I'm going off Kali Linux.

I therefore give up on this puzzle, as it's now even more difficult since OP might have a different dictionary.

Nice work escrow.

[raze]

Wow, I should've taken a look at the wordlist when I saw it :/ That's actually pretty simple.

Yeah. Very simple.
Sorry that the "words" file was OS specific. I thought it was universal across unix systems, and that was a blunder on my part.
My next one will be more complex, but probably won't have a prize unless someone donates. But hey! Riddles are still fun without prizes. Look at how successful NotPron was.
