too lazy for puzzle, but congratulation for your promotion !

Congrats, I hope it comes with a corresponding raise! What are your next goals, aiming to be an analyst as well? Or would you rather be an architect? Or is it enough for you already?

Yeah, that's the programmer's paradox, the best programmers usually get promoted to non-programming roles. I think it's more important to be as happy as you can in your job rather than getting to a position you don't enjoy, but in any case, good luck with whatever you end up doing :)

Well done! Nice to hear of this great promotion and recognition of your work!

yep, with the current hints, completely unattainable with brute-forcing.
16 symbols
only uses lowercase and uppercase letters
completely random string of letters
I remember participating in an older event like this one by ozo (I can't seem to find the old thread!), but I recall there were a lot more "constraints" to narrow down the search space, and after including all the constraints the actual "cracking" part took 5 minutes tops using JtR.
I guess for now we wait for more hints :)

If I remember correctly from the previous event, hints were added one at a time, something like:
I had written some notes on JtR last time I did this, probably with a link to the old thread, but the files are on my old laptop I can't access for now (battery died).
Maybe it was a puzzle by someone else not ozo? I can't say for sure, my memory is not what it used to be XD

But isn't 1428971287328485345190739968 just the maximum? You could find the password earlier, right?
(Just from a technical perspective)

Hi. Long story short now I am a Senior Web developer :) So as always, here is puzzle/giveaway for you :) I've done similar "puzzles" in the past, just look through my old discussions if you need some help. Or ask here :) JUST BE SURE NOT TO SHARE ANY ANSWERS!!! OR I WILL BLACKLIST YOU :)
I don't want to call it a puzzle cause it's really not, so I will call it a challenge instead. For now there is only one giveaway at the end but I will add more as time goes on :) Giveaways will end on October 1st 12:00 AM UTC+3.
Challenge is simple - giveaway code is inside an archive, you need to find a password. That's it. I made a zip and rar archives, if you want any other archive type to be added like tar or tar.gz for example, I can add them.
Hints (may be updated over time): https://pastebin.com/aEG2QSu6

First giveaway is level 2. Might do different levels for other giveaways depending on how many people below level 2 would get to the end :)
