Hack This Site Basic 11


Sam decided to make a music site. Unfortunately he does not understand Apache. This mission is a bit harder than the other basics.
As you may have noticed! when we visit this level all we are given with is some line about song.This line changes on each refresh.From this we assume that this is not the real page we need to visit.But how we find our requirement? There is a tool in Kali Linux called 'Dirb'. But for now Iam using an online service for this
>>URL FUZZER<< . First we give the url and search for files with .php extension.
select start scan.Wait for scan to finish.
So,we have found a file.Now visit it as:
https://www.hackthissite.org/missions/basic/11/index.php

There is our login page.still we are stuck!we don't have the password or any hint in the source code of this page. Lets run another scan on the URL Fuzzer ,this time for directories 
Same way start scan and wait for it to finish.
There are two possible directories. first we try /index/ ..but it seems no change it shows a new line .
Now, try /e/

Found a new directory in it.
/l/ ,and there are more directories /t/,/o/,/n/

in the end we are on a blank page,with just link to parent directory.

We know Sam uses Apache in this website so he must have used .htaccess file
so i tried to check if .htaccess exist in this directory.Yes it is!

https://www.hackthissite.org/missions/basic/11/e/l/t/o/n/.htaccess 

HTACCESS FILE CONTAIN:
IndexIgnore DaAnswer.* .htaccess
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Files


Here DaAnswer seems suspicious! so lets try it ! add DaAnswer after e/l/t/o/n/









when added DaAnswer,it automatically turned to .txt



https://www.hackthissite.org/missions/basic/11/e/l/t/o/n/DaAnswer.txt



Inside that this line was found:



The answer is around! Just look a little harder.



Next,we have to deduce the answer iam going to try password as  "around"



Yes it is! we have completed the level!



You may have got different password as password chnages



I also got in some tries:



The answer is somewhere close! Just look a little harder.



The answer is not what you think! Just look a little harder.



The answer is short! Just look a little harder.

Hack This Site Basic 8




























     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 ...

Hack This Site! Basic 4




























       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!
