OK for all you hacking enthusiasts here is one more answer, tutorial or if you like solution for one more mission from hackthisiste.org you know procedure go to basic missions link http://www.hackthissite.org/missions/basic/ and choose basic mission three. That should lead you to this link http://www.hackthissite.org/missions/basic/3/


Short explanation or maybe better to say introduction to the basic mission 3 is this:

Some intuition is needed to find the location of the hidden password file. Requirements: Basic HTML knowledge

Don’t be affraid with this basic HTML knowledge though if you would like to start hacking that is if you would like to keep on solving problems from the site hackthissite.org then you should consider learning it as soon as possible.

Explanation from the header of this mission is:

This time Network Security Sam remembered to upload the password file, but there were deeper problems than that.

So as we have learned we will open code view. As always I suggest using Firefox. Scroll down or search for the part where our input box is placed that is where code for our input box is.

Hint: It’s below the green part
Now let’s check what is written firstly there is explanation presented above then we see opening of HTML tag called form then, there is hidden field containing certain value. Crash course to HTML in HTML you may have hidden fields they are not used that often now when we have varaity of script languages but one way or the other this HTML tag is of type hidden which means that it will not show in the browser. Now this might be very useful information. It’s name is file and value is password.php As usual people are known to give meaningful names so as Security Sam he gave name to the file password.php the only thing we are able to do now is to open this file. But how you may ask.

Hint: Use your browser address tab.

Have you solved it well if you didn’t then just go to the browser tab which represents third basic mission. and after the last slash write password.php This should give you that is open you certain file or new window. Which returns you scrambled value like f7b09345 copy this value and press backspace or return in your browser and then enter this value in the password field.

Congratulation you have solved one more mission. Stay tuned for new mission tutorials and solutions.
