InCTF 2014 - Crypto 50

Question:

Given Hint:

The Atbash cipher is a very common, simple cipher. It was for the Hebrew alphabet, but modified here to work with the English alphabet. Basically, when encoded, an "A" becomes a "Z", "B" turns into "Y", etc.

The Atbash cipher can be implemented as an Affine cipher by setting both "a" and "b" to 25.

We used online  tool http://rumkin.com/tools/cipher/atbash.php to decrypt the encoded message.

This is your encoded/decoded text:

Atbash   cipher was originally developed for the Hebrew language. The key for this level is hebrew.

Simple Automation using Python - Atomac in Mac OS X

Image
The Product Automation in MAC OS X is quite easy if we have enough knowledge in the following languages and tools  Bash Scripts  Apple Scripts  Python especially ATOMac Knowledge in Accessibility. For more understanding of the LDTP: http://download.freedesktop.org/ldtp/doc/ldtp-tutorial.pdf LDTP - Tutorial is written by  Nagappan Alagappan. He has given the clear idea and architecture of the LDTP and its working. I have used the contents from the tutorial for knowledge sharing. Following are the few information and contents from  the LDTP - Tutorial. Few interesting key points, Linux Desktop Testing Project (LDTP) i s aimed at producing high quality test automation framework and cutting-edge tools that can be used to test GNU/Linux Desktop and improve it.  It uses the Accessibility libraries to poke through the application's user interface.  This idea has been extended to Microsoft Windows as Cobra , Mac OS X as ATOMa...
