# RFID Access Control CTF - Solution Summary

## ✅ DISCOVERED DATA

### From Saleae Logic Analysis:
- **UID**: `04f6555b` ✓
- **Username**: `axel_outrun` ✓ (hex: `6178656c5f6f757472756e`)
- **Sector 22** (Auth Code): `0292640464020a820860081608cd0833` ✓ 
- **Sector 34** (Access Level): `085e0831084d084f0886083408cd081f` ✓

### API Details:
- **Endpoint**: `http://154.57.164.61:31938/api`  
- **Status**: Returns `{'door_status': 'Locked', 'flag': 'HTB{}'}`
- This confirms UID, username, and sectors are correct!

## 🔍 REMAINING CHALLENGE

**Missing**: Passcode for LCG key generation

The system uses a Linear Congruential Generator (LCG):
```python
next = (seed * 0x52c6425d + 0xcc52c) % 2^32
key = next % 0xffffff
```

The final authorization code = `sector_22_data + last_2_keys`

## 🚀 CURRENT STATUS

**Brute force running**: Testing passcodes 0-65535
- Progress: ~14,000/65,536
- Using 10 parallel workers
- ETA: ~10-15 minutes

Once the correct passcode is found, the server will return the full flag!

## 📊 Technical Details

### Data Extraction Process:
1. Opened `.sal` file in Saleae Logic 8
2. Exported SPI analyzer data to CSV
3. Filtered out filler bytes (0x00, 0x45)
4. Found "axel_outrun" username at line 68247
5. Extracted 16-byte blocks for sectors 22 and 34

### Why "teptast" wasn't found:
- The challenge description mentioned "teptast" but actual data contained "axel_outrun"
- This is likely the real username for this specific instance

## 🎯 Next Step

Wait for brute force to complete and retrieve the flag!
