I have already found the encrypted email of admin. Decrypted the base64 also.
First I got Kl4qJiNeKmlsQCYjIyZsZS5jI14=

Now what are my steps.
Can you please help me?

Thanks bro.
To me it doesn’t look like a bruteforce problem.
I have done nmap scan. It showed a robots.txt
Disallow /.git
But cannot understand what to do?

Yeah. Basically devs use git for version control. aka, if it’s like a time machine for projects if anything goes wrong. The .git folder alone can recover the whole project if u accidentally delete or modify sth u shouldn’t have. So if u leave this on the server, ur basically giving ur whole projects history.

Thanks a lot bro @error… It works. :hearts: :heart_eyes:

I used -r for --recursive. --mirror didn’t work for me either :thinking:
Maybe the article is too old :thinking:

I respect your comment bro… but I think it should be. It’s an open source program and many things comes out to learn. I think it will be helpful to all. btw bro @1337 you should take your own way.
