Raw

If it's so easy to guess a uuid, here you go

I ran crypto.randomUUID() twice on my machine.

The first ID was 15041508-fd38-4eda-bc1d-7b74e4738cd9

The second? That's your challenge.

I encrypted a text file with the following command:

openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -salt \
  -in impossible-challenge.txt \
  -out impossible-challenge.txt.enc \
  -pass pass:{2nd-uuid-goes-here}

If you can crack this UUID, I'll give you $1,000.

Tbh it will probably easier to brute force the decryption than to guess the right ID.
