If you are reading this post then you certainly are in the one of the following groups of people. Firstly, you might be hacker or the person that would like to become one and is eager to learn all about hacking. Secondly, you might be person like web developer and you would like to protect your web sites from hackers and script kiddies. So if you are in one of these groups then go on and read the rest of this post.
OK so what is first step you should do. Click the link for basic missions and let’s start learning about hacking and protecting your web site. Click now on the very first mission that is Basic No 1.
Level 1(the idiot test) This level is what we call "The Idiot Test", if you can't complete it, don't give up on learning all you can, but, don't go begging to someone else for the answer, thats one way to get you hated/made fun of. Enter the password and you can continue.
So what to do now:
First thing when you would like to hack something or when you would like to check it out and so on and so on. Is to take a peek in the source code. And what is very nice in the browser like firefox you can see codes of each page you are currently previewing. So if you are using Mozilla’s Firefox then just click <CTRL>+<U> and new window will open and you will see code of page.
Now lets find out where is that part with input box. Because this will give us clue about where and how we can crack password or find it out. So scroll down or use find option to search trough the code for input box.
While you are looking down trough the code also look in the site so you can orientate around and now what are you looking in fact.
I forgot to mention that pre-knowledge for this mission would be some basic HTML, in fact very basic HTML.
I suppose that you have already found code around input box. I did it with searching trough document with word password and when you in fact find that part. Then just look around. What do you see?
Well you should have seen that there is written that password is and copied this part and post it in the input box.
You shoud now see something like this:
Congratulations, you have successfully completed basic 1!
Yes you did it you passed the first level. Also for all those who were too lazy to search for password here it is: e182e6f0
