HACKTHISSITE.ORG | Basic 7: Unix

Sam still believes saving the password in a file is still the best way to remember it and keep it secured, time to prove him wrong once again. As the description says the password is in the same directory(folder) as we are.

This time Network Security Sam has saved the unencrypted level7 password in an obscurely named file saved in this very directory.

The second line of the description tell us about one another news that came from Sam, about setting up an UNIX cal command script and with that we are provided with the script even.

HACKTHISSITE.ORG | Basic 6: Decrypt an encryption

Sam has got a lot wiser, he understood that a password if encrypted is a lot difficult to crack. But like every other time he made a mistake.

Now, as we see, Sam is quite forgetful, and he forgets his password all the time, so he wrote some script that would mail him the password. Lets begin with checking the source code as we always do.

This time Network Security Sam remembered to upload the password file, but there were deeper problems than that.

This time the password file is there, but with deeper problems. Lets just follow the simple steps we had learn in level 1 i.e. check out the source code.

HACKTHISSITE.ORG | Basic 2: Common sense

Trying to figure out the password in this level is a little tricky if compared to level 1, if you had a problem doing that. Well, this level requires a little more than just common sense, and that is some programming knowledge (any language would do it).

Tip: Read the description back again, slowly, and try and understand every single word and line. Or else press continue reading…
