ha! i never noticed that! Spoiler: xkeyscore hint I ran the names through another tool and there were three that were slightly 'different'. Which also shows via the above 'click' method!
I did it the same way you did...but I'd like to know what those other ones are! I mean... Spoiler Assuming we're talking about the info on the cell phone, I tried every bit of information in every one of those apps, and nothing seemed valid. And where do you find this person's age anyway?
Spoiler I simply bruteforced the age... regarding those other variables, look in one specific Note on the phone...it has a 5-letter agency name mentioned, which will help you make sense of other bits of data in that note (bit of google-fu always helps)
Now that i'm done with this mission, i would't mind knowing my previous email to liaison forever lost on his way to central command !!
Actually there was another way to find the Spoiler Age Basically Spoiler the name Anna Chapmen immediately reminded me of the infamous Russian spy Anna (Vasil'yevna) Chapman or А́нна Васи́льевна Ча́пман. A quick Wikipedia check brings up her age as being "you guessed it" .. 35
One thing that really threw me for a loop on this mission was having Spoiler the "final" solution page come up too early. It made it less obvious to try and use it (internally in the StingerOS). Also the bizarre username was not intuitive, that really took some desperation (I don't know how many times I tried different spellings of other usernames haha). Lastly the password had a Character look devastatingly like an Integer and that almost caused me to give up at the very end. Of course it kept bugging me that it seemed so familiar, so when I realized it matched the city destination name, then my lightbulb switched on.
i agree that the username isnt intuitive, but in retrospect it does make sense Spoiler it is a package tracking website after all
True, and I do appreciate the challenge. So I'm not opposed to this type of behavior. There was no precedent before (so I think they should establish the possibility of this early on in an easier/training mission to introduce it). Then again, it was supposed to be a particularly challenging mission, so maybe the execution was perfectly fine.
I do have a question for those that solved it though, did anyone actually figure out the Spoiler final port destination without 'brute-forcing' it in PRINCE.config? If you did, please let me know, I'd be curious to see what methodology you used and what Spoiler tracking website you may have used to get that information.
Spoiler You have all the info in the first note, it's in Ecuador, using tracking website from A018 pdf you can see details about the ports, only one is matching the description. I wonder if people who completed the mission at first two days after start could trace the shipment and figure out the ship name and other details, or it wasn't possible because it's fake? I mean bitcoin chain was pretty real
Having completed it when it was first released, I wasn't able to find any way to track it. Each site I used wanted to find out the company name and/or the number didn't fit the format. I struggled to find any known ships going between the two ports at all tbh.
Seem to be having trouble of my own on this mission. I was able to get into the phone and understand that I'll need to use SYSTEM.config, but I can't seem to find a way to figure out the target URL but I understand that the target is Anna chapmen.
Hey @Tick-Tock I just noticed your post. I can give you a few tips if you are still stuck. Just drop me a private message and I will send a few your way!
something i just noticed today; the "boat"-logo in maltego actually refers to a port, not the boat itself meaning that you dont need to actually find out which ship you're supposed to trace, only its end point
Oh, right...I saw that but I had no idea how to pursue that lead. (All I can find is this guy...) Guess I'll keep poking at it! Yeah, THAT bit was easy! Just go to the link shown on the final page of the PDF, and click on each one of the options to see their characteristics. You want to find the one that matches all the characteristics listed in the information you have... Spoiler On the phone there's an email which lists certain characteristics—lifts, cranes, USA representative.
