I was the challenge author for a handful of challenges for this year’s BSidesSF CTF. One of those challenges was
lastpwned, inspired by a recent high-profile data breach. This challenge provided a web-based password manager with client-side encryption.The challenge description read:
It’s 2023, so it’s finally time that people use a password manager. We’ve got our zero-knowledge solution ready to go. To prove our trust in it, the admin is even using it for their passwords too!
Visiting the challenge website, players are presented with a page to login or register. Registering gives us an account, and presents a UI with several pages, including passwords and history. In the passwords page, we can add and view our encrypted passwords. On the history page, we see a list of historical versions of our encrypted passwords, and clicking on one loads the historical “keybag”.
There is a cybersecurity risk inherent to the human being that we will not be able to eliminate completely and it is the implicit need to "click" on links that come to us, especially through email, which may be the prelude to the materialization of a cyber attack through an APT.
