Egg 6: Hack to the Future

Challenge:

The Doc’s in trouble again, and you must come to his rescue! As you jump into his time machine, you realize that a password is needed to start it. Just in that moment of despair, you receive an audio message from the Doc, through space and time:

1

dah-dah-dit dit dah-dah-dah di-dah-dit dah-dah-dit dit dah-dah dah-di-dah-dit di-di-dah-dit di-dah-di-dit dah-di-dah-dah

Solution

convert to morse using dah=long, di/dit=short and the following chart

This gives us the answer:

1
2

--. . --- .-. --. .   -- -.-. ..-. .-.. -.--
G   E  O   R   G  E   M   C    F    L    Y

we enter this password and get a Hackvent Christmas Bauble :P

It says we arrived three months too early and to fix time controls..

we check the source and see the following snippet:

function getEgg() {
  emptyScrambledEgg();
  var key = $("#scrambledEggKey").val();
  $.getJSON("time?m=" + new Date().getMonth() + "&k=" + key, function( data ) {
     document.getElementById('scrambledEggImage').setAttribute( 'src', 'data:image/png;base64,' + data.egg );
  });
}

we see that the current month is checked when getting the result image, so we manually get the image with month 6 passed instead of 3:

we get base64 encoding of the image, and after translation gives us the egg14_qrcode
