Here you can get tips, and information on how to create the programs shown in my tutorials, and you can also find written tutorials on how to complete missions in Hackthissite.org.
This is what they call the Idiot Test. Its called this, because it is so simple.
1. Start by logging in and opening Basic Mission 1
2. Now that you have done this, read over the situation
3. Now the first step in just about every mission is to view the source, so right click, and choose view source
4. Now we will use the Find feature(Ctrl+F) to find the password
5. So pull up the find menu, and search for: Password
6. It should go right to the password
7. Copy and Paste the password and you are done
8. Congratulations on completing the the first basic mission of Hackthissite.org
OK, welcome to my tutorial on how complete Hackthissite.org Basic Mission 2. Lets get started shall we.
1. Start by logging in and opening Basic mission 2
2. Now that you have done this read over the situation
3. It says that the password loads from an unencrypted text file, and compares it to the password te user enters, however he neglected to upload the password file. This means that there is nothing to compare the password to, so in other words there is no specific password
4. So dont enter a password, and just hit submit password
5. Congratulations on completing Hackthissite.org Basic Mission 2
Welcome to Basic mission 3 of Hackthissite.org. Lets get started.
1. Once you have logged in and opened Basic Mission 3, analyze the situation at hand
2. It says that this time Sam remembered to upload the password file, but there was a problem
3. So start by opening the source, now we need to determine what we are searching for. In mission 2 it said that the password was hidden in an unecrypted file. So, we have to find that file
4. So pull up the find window(Ctrl+F) and search for password, just like we did in Basic Mission 2. The only problem is that it pulls up multiple references to password. However one in particular looks like a file, the one that Im talking about is Password.php. PHP is a file extension, So copy password.php, and paste it to the end of the current url, and it should pull up the unencrypted password file, there by giving you the password.
5. Congratulations on completing Hackthissite.org Basic Mission 3.
