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 directori...

Hack This Site Basic 10

Please enter a password to gain access to level 10 Only this much is written as hint.What we should do? I have tried reading the source code and there is no hint how the password is validated.So,we have no other way than intercepting the data.Once we enter the password and hit submit the password along with some request is sent to the server by the browser.There can be very vital information in this request.What we do is intercept this request before it is sent to the server.For this we use "Burp Suit" or some extensions for tampering data.For chrome and firefox,we have tamper data addon.Iam using chrome add on:  Tamper Chrome HOW TO USE IT? *Right click somewhere and select inspect. *Now select the three arrows pointing right on top right corner. *Now select  Tamper from it(make sure you have added the extension in             chrome). *Now input some password in out mission or leave it empty and hit submit. ...

Hack This SIte Basic 9

Network Security Sam is going down with the ship - he's determined to keep obscuring the password file, no matter how many times people manage to recover it. This time the file is saved in /var/www/hackthissite.org/html/missions/basic/9/.In the last level, however, in my attempt to limit people to using server side includes to display the directory listing to level 8 only, I have mistakenly screwed up somewhere.. there is a way to get the obscured level 9 password. See if you can figure out how...This level seems a lot trickier then it actually is, and it helps to have an understanding of how the script validates the user's input. The script finds the first occurance of '<--', and looks to see what follows directly after it.  Its clearly stated that we cannot see the directory listing in level 8 because the password we enter is filtered.But its also stated that  " in my attempt to limit people to using server side includes to display the directory listing...

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 7

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

Hack This Site Basic 6

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 ......

Hack This Site Basic 5

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 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!

Hack This Site basic 2

"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!
