by Arxleol on Tuesday 29.09.2009, under hellboundhackers.org, tutorial
OK I am starting to solve basic web hacking challenges or missions from the site hellboundhackers (or commonly known as HBH). This is simple solution to the very first basic challenge…
If you are following this site since the very beginning and or you have tried missions from the hackthissite.org then you already know solution for this mission since it introduces us to the very basic thing and that is always first thing to do is to check the code!
And since we will be checking code out if you are using Firefox then it is very simple just click CTRL and U or you can do it simply by clicking View -> Page Source though after prolonged usage shortcut will come handy.
Now search for the part of code where the input box is presented.
< form action='22.php' method='POST'> Enter Password: < input type='text' name='password'> < input value="Submit!" type="submit" />
This is part of code you are searching for however if you check it out closely there is nothing suspicious about it. However if you would check the sentence in the comment above it then you will find simple riddle to solve.
This is riddle:
< !-- it has four legs and most of the time its called 'man's best friend'-->
Riddle is fairly simple however if you are not from english speaking country then you might have some problems. So the solution you ought to write in input field as password is:
dog
