Hack This Site! - Basic 3

Description:

Some intuition is needed to find the location of the hidden password file. Requirements: Basic HTML knowledge

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

Solution:

1. View page source code
2. Find the hidden field in the HTML form

   <input type="hidden" name="file" value="password.php" />

3. Access the php file directly by the URL of:

   hxxp://www.hackthissite.org/missions/basic/3/password.php

4. There's a text on the page.

   c85f21c1

5. Back to the level page and submit the password.
6. Congratulations, you have successfully completed basic 3!
