Sam remains confident that an obscured password file is still the best idea, but he screwed up with the calendar program. Sam has saved the unencrypted password file in /var/www/hackthissite.org/html/missions/basic/8/  However, Sam's young daughter Stephanie has just learned to program in PHP. She's talented for her age, but she knows nothing about security. She recently learned about saving files, and she wrote a script to demonstrate her ability. So, we know the password is stored in some obscured password file.  Lets try the same code as we did in level 7. But the code 'ls' is not treated as command. so lets try it differently. Try with aaa;<!--ls--> it also failed but got a message: If you are trying to use server side includes to solve the challenge, you are on the right track: but I have limited the commands allowed to ones relevant towards finding the password file for security reasons(because there will always be that one person who decides to

This time Network Security sam has saved the unencrypted level7 password in an obscurely named file saved in this very directory.In other unrelated news, Sam has set up a script that returns the output from the UNIX cal command. Here is the script: In the hint, its clearly stated that the script is running on unix command line. I tried inputting 2017.Its showing calender of 2017. Then i tried ' 2017;ls ' ls is a command in unix for listing directory fortunately below the calender , we can see the directory listing. from that we can easily find our password file name add it to the url to view password https://www.hackthissite.org/missions/basic/7/passwordfilename.php SPOILERS Password FileName Password

Network Security Sam has encrypted his password. The encryption system is publically available and can be accessed with this form: There we have been given with the same encryptor used by Sam .There is no other choice in my mind than guessing the password with the help of this encryptor. We have Sam's encrypted password already :3ff8;j<9 >Now we need to find by giving which value we get the output as 3. >when i given 'a' my output was 'a',which means no change. >So,I tried giving '3' and as expected, answer was 3. >So i pushed my luck and tried '3f',the first two letters,in encryptor ,Output was '3g'    this was clearly giving us hint.first letter has no change,second letter change by one alphabet or           letter ,clearly from 'abcdefg' >with this in mind iam giving input for encryption as '3ed',Huraaah!, it was successful and given output as '3ff'. >now its easy to break down ...

This time Sam hardcoded the password into the script. However, the password is long and complex, and Sam is often forgetful. So he wrote a script that would email his password to him automatically in case he forgot. Here is the script: This mission is just the same as basic4, though sam added some features, the steps we did in basic 4 is enough to get the password sent to our email.   Password HERE

This time Sam hardcoded the password into the script. However, the password is long and complex, and Sam is often forgetful. So he wrote a script that would email his password to him auto And below this,There is a button for sending password to Sam's email.What we should do? right click on the button ,if you are in google chrome ,select > inspect . Now on right side you could see the script of that button. In this script you could see, <input type="hidden" name="to" value="sam@hackthissite.org"> Got any idea? yea , all you have to do is change the email to whatever  email you registered in Hackthis site ! Now check your mail,there must be the password you needed! Keep going!

"This time Network Security Sam remembered to upload the password file, but there were deeper problems than that."  I tried the steps we did in first two missions..Though in simple looking it was just a failure but when I looked thoroughly in our form,which asks for password,I saw a hidden file. You cud also see. SPOILER HERE Now ,we know the password file name. All we have to do is see it.just paste the file name after your url of the mission: https://www.hackthissite.org/missions/basic/3/>>file name<< Click enter and you have got your password! Password is : Password

"Network Security Sam set up a password protection script. He made it load the real password from an unencrypted text file and compare it to the password the user enters. However, he neglected to upload the password file..." In fact this is simpler that the previous one.They says Sam used a script which loads a script and checks the password we give with the password he has stored in a plain text.Most importantly he forgets to upload the password file.Which means there is no password for comparing,so what ever password we type in will let us pass the level.Just click on submit and yes you are done!

Lets start our journey with hack this site.Visit the website and make an account.Login with your account. Now we are going to look at basic 1. Select Basic missions from left tab and choose basic 1 "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. " This is the easiest level.It teaches you this, you should first look into the source code for some clue or vulnerability. Yes! Just right click on the page and select view-source.Now you can see the source code.Read along the lines until you find the line containing password:   SPOILER HERE Yes you have hacked the first level!

There are a lots of tutorials out there in internet.Most of them you guys will ignore as I did earlier..don't ignore any tutorial or tool. There are websites where we are given with challenges for hacking like in DVWA-Damn Vulnerable Web Application. Some of them are, Hack This Site |   HackThisSite.org Hack This Site is more than just a website; it’s a platform for education and a community for security enthusiasts. Hack This Site is a great stopping point for security professionals and developers alike, as it offers varying levels and topics to delve into as you practice hacking. HackThis!! |   hackthis.co.uk Deemed ‘the Hacker’s Playground,’ HackThis!! offers various levels and areas of study when practicing your hacking skills. Similar to Hack This Site, HackThis!! is also a good place to go for security-related news, presentations and to connect with like-minded folk in their forum. HellBound Hackers  |   hellboundhackers.org Its also a s

I ts truly useful and needful to learn how hacking works in order to prevent these attacks.An ethical hacker need to know everything in hacking just as a black hat hacker in order to outrun them and find the exploits before the black hats finds it and cause too much damage. This is just like our military is trained in arms to prevent the terrorists from attacking us! This is why we say learning to hack is not unethical but using it for any bad purpose is unethical and that is the real crime.This is the reason why we still get every kind of tutorials and help related to hacking .So its not a crime to learn hacking unless your intentions are unethical. There is term difference for ethical hacker and black hats ,white hat hackers or ethical hackers are really called hackers while black hats are called crackers.Now a days people find it hard to differentiate and hence are using the term hacker for all. 

W ell the question is quiet simple,but i choose to explain it basically so that every one can understand it. Before that i must say,don't be interested to hacking by seeing images of hacker like the one above,if you think you wanna be portrayed as above,all you need to learn is Photoshop :) Most of us,in Our childhood must have had toys.When we have one we try to know how it functions,by somehow opening it and once we know its working, we try to alter it to our own wish even though most of us fail! A hacker has same mind set where he try to break through the security measures applied by the application or website makers.When we hear the name hacker first thing that comes to our mind is he will hack our facebook,twitter,computer and everything.Even though a very elite hacker may know to bypass the security of all these ,mostly they may not . What i mean is may be a hacker know to bypass security of webpages but not to crack games but still he is a hacker. In simple words,Hac
