And I've heard that at lvl 7 and above, you have to do what's considered "real hacking", but uh, I'm on 5 right now, so I dunno. I DO know that on the last level you have to hack an IRC bot...
People are suggesting using flash decompilers and shit for level 2 (only just started, gimme a break). Honestly I think its cheating. Yeah, its exactly what a hacker would do in this situation, but a hacker CAN'T decompile a remote computer, so I think it's a cop-out to decompile it. Problem I'm finding, tho, is that all the common passwords and usernames aren't being used. So off to find a decompiler I go! :D

heh. An .swf file isn't a remote computer. You just wait, it gets harder. Oh, and here ya go, a flash decompiler (hard to find these damn things free, but that one should work)

i know a flash program aint remote, but my point was that if you act like it is then its real practice, decompiling it is only cheating yourself, because youre not acting like its a real computer. btw i already got to level 3. thing is, i cant get further ;D

forgive my total VB, flash and IRC stupidity.

Just use a text editor. Notepad will work fine.

HAHAHA! I'll have to redo that myself, cause I forgot what that one is.. I know it took awhile tho. I could give you the passwrod, but that's cheating. Instead, I wish you luck!

I tried that... it doesn't work... I've looked at the code, and I can't figure it out...

the page source says AbCdE as the PW, but that doesnt work for me. and the "correctsite" or whatever says it aint correct. so im clueless.

also i tried "PASSWORD" because the code says if(pwd==PASSWORD). the double equals means the equals as we know it to be (literally, pwd==PASSWORD means that the pwdvariable has "PASSWORD" in it), whereas the a single equal would just check of the variable pwd and the variable PASSWORD have the same content.

right at the beginning of that big lump of script you've got this:

<!--

Which basically means "ignore this".

I believe the real javascript is in a remote file of some kind,

but I'm still stuck... 'cause I can't find the remote location of the javascript.

That's there so that non-javascript capable browsers won't attempt to render the code.

I found a guide that shows everything about hacking this, it's really sad...

It even gives step by step instructions :shock:

Ive been to this site. It was more than a year ago. It seems he is rebuilding it after messing up something. Anyway, I got to level 7 or 8 then got stuck. If you look closely this site is more about learning how things work than actually practicing hacking. Although I suppose they are one in the same in some respects.

Ahem... a clue...

Note that the variables at the end are assigned after the comparison is done. They must therefore not be correct.

When I started Level 1 I entered "password" as the passowrd, and when that didn't work I gave up. :oops:
Don't hate; appreciate!

Thats what I was thinking, I assumed that javascript might be more fluid then other languages tho.

I found it tho. I hadn't noticed the thing to look for before. Very inconscpicuous. Now im stuck on 4. I tried a .class decompiler, no passwords. =\

Level 4...

Heh, I self-taught Javascript. I had to read the third one a couple times before I caught it...

Unfortunately, I have close to no experience with Java.

If you don't want to run the risk of downloading a decompiler from dubious sources, I can PM you the text output from mine, since I've already done it. That is of course, if you are sure that decompiling is the way to solve this one! :)

Already have to decompiler. Thanks anyway
