i have no idea how 2 hack............... anyone want to pm me a hint

[nekromancerus]

I had trouble with 10 but I got it. I'm now on level 11 which is killin me. One of the answers seems impossible to get when you check out the code and the correct answer.

[paroxym]

Level 14 and I hit a brick wall. The code was starting to give me headaches so I bookmarked it and retired for the day.

Thanks for the great link Phoboss. :)

[Cyclonite]

*Sigh* Three got me... I checked the code, but couldn't find the answer. Well, I found what I thought was the answer but it obviously didn't work. Haha...

[Aranyic]

I'm stuck on 8, didn't have any real trouble until there.

[phoboss]

Ok, hint for people starting out, just go and view the source.

For anyone past level 10 - please give me a hint - Im at the bit where it says about "there is always a power between n and 2n" - WTF!???!?!??!?!?!?!?

[Nolf-Job]

Hmm...stuck on 3 as well

[Enverex]

On level 10, only took a min or two to get there, just thought I would post on here before I accedently closed the window (too many windows open).

[LiLbRo]

hehe im uber newb.... i got level on noooo problem, but then the whole , its not that easy bologna came up.. soo, i opened up the code in note pad, and i dont see password=easy ... hehe, i give up :) how do i get pst level 2? hehehe

[stoopid]

I'm too 1337 to even try... :p

[TD_Isles]

Level 8 is pissing me off! HELP!

[ALiEN509]

I can't figured out the last code for level 11. I think it's because I have no clue what substrings do or are.

BTW, level 8 probably involes one mouse click or one button pressed on the keyboard. IE. That's your hint.

[joelbarrutia]

I got passed level 4 no prob.. but I cant go any more... :)

but I think thats pretty good for me, I dont really know any of that stuff, I know html pretty good, but thats about it...

[phoboss]

OK all you peeps having trouble with 3 - the code your looking at is: window.location.href=String.fromCharCode(65,66,67)+".htm";
Those numbers are character codes which build the URL to goto. :D

[Enverex]

Site seems to have gone down......

NS

[joelbarrutia]

appears to have been hacked.. lol

[phoboss]

Oh the irony! LOL

[Enverex]

I was actually thinking, what I should do is hack into the site, download EVERYTHING, burn it onto a CD and mail it to him with just "Beat this" written on the disc :p

NS

[Red Dawn]

I must be the lamest person ever, can't even get past level 2 :(

i'm open to suggestions

[Enverex]

I gave up at level 10 because I just seem to be missing something. That and I am no good at riddles.

NS

[phoboss]

I know how u feel NS - What the hell was that riddle thing about inside the java file?! - and I dont even see where the code comes from to pop up the password window - oh well.

As its down now, heres a similar one but much harder:

[nekromancerus]

I'm working on level 13 now which is a major pain in the @ss. The password box is part of a java applett and I don't know sh*t about java.

[Enverex]

Yeah, thats another thing, its pretty much completely Java, which I know nothing about, and I suppose it would make it very easy if you knew lots of Java.

NS

[nekromancerus]

Well, I'm on level 16, I have the answer and it seems as though the page is missing. :(

\\ Edit: And I finished. All 16 are done.

Hint for level 16: The question is in english, you only have to translate the answer. Also, don't use babel-fish, it gives you an incorrect spelling of the word. :rolleyes:

Use a decompiler (jascii, javap) to make some sense of the downloaded .class file in your 'temp Internet Directory'. ;)

[phoboss]

Thats some good work there nekromancerus, nice going!..... now, if I could only get past 10 :(

[leishi85]

i need little more hit on level 3

View the source of the page that has the "Enter" link on it.

[leishi85]

i did, but i'm not into hacking, couldn't find any clue on the pass yet

[nekromancerus]

WARNING: Giving away answer to number 3.


Eingabe=prompt ("Please enter password");
if (Eingabe==d1)
{


Ok, here we can see that we need to make the variable Eingabe (the password that you enter) match the variable d1 (the correct password). So what is d1?

//edit (aranyic)
;) they can find out for themselves, that's already a good hint. Let's not spoil it for everyone.

//edit (Nekromancerus)
:eek: My bad.

[Enverex]

Its not really hacking, well it is, but its to basic to really be called hacking, its just poking around in crap code...

NS

[leishi85]

ooh, i didn't look at that part, i thought about the link color, but i was typing in words instead of numbers, haha, for exmaple i typew in blue, red and stuff.

[Brilt]

i'm stuck on 6 don't know where to start...well stuck as in i couldn't solve it in 5 min but i will keep trying

[ALiEN509]

Alright I've been on level 11 for a day now. I can't figure out codes 2 and 5. I have figured out the rest already. Substrings are driving me nutz. Tips please to what this is refering to:


e.substring(1,2) + e.substring (4,5)+ e.substring (6,7) + e.substring (0,1) + e.substring(5,6)+ e.substring(2,3) + e.substring(3,4)

[danball1976]

I would guess the numbers are actually the numeric location of the letters in the alphabet.

//EDIT - Easiest way is to view the source. It has the password easily visable - on some of them -

I'm going to have to give up. I don't know what level 3's password is. EndEDIT//

[ALiEN509]

SWEET! I wrote 2 small java applets for codes 2 and 5 on level 11 to see if my code was correct. Then from there I just started guessing. Before all of this I was guessing with pencil and paper. My first 2 guesses were the correct codes! Now all I have to do is figure out which one I did mess up on. More than likely it is code 4.

EDIT: Just smashed through level 11. Yeah code 4 was off because of that dang zero always counting :D

[FoldingAddict]

I can't even start to figure out level 11.:(

~FA

[ALiEN509]

you think level 11 is something, heh. Level 14 is impossible LOL.

:eek: My bad.

/Me thinks that "d1=window.document.linkColor" refers to the link color, most likely in hex, whatever that may be.

Remember, that was a hint. Also, on level 4, what does "wrong! - letter size?" mean? And what is it referring to?

Let see, if (document.a.c.value == a), then a should be what?

[FoldingAddict]

UGH!!! Finally figured out level 11!!!:eek:

Time for a nap.

That is referring to the case (UPPER or lower) of the password.

[danball1976]

I can't figure level 4 out just yet.

Thanks for the great link Phoboss. :) I've gotten sooo close to passing level 14 it's unbelievable. I can't figure out what's wrong though ? How you doing Paroxym ?

[ALiEN509]

Nevermind, I just smahed through level 14:D

[Red Dawn]

can any1 give the retard a hint for level 2.

[ALiEN509]

level 2

Hint:
The password is case sensitive.
var m1 must equal the password input.

[danball1976]

Viewing source (through the view menu in IE) will often give you a hint.

Well done..... thats been said...... like 12 times already.......

NS

[danball1976]

I can't figure out level 4 for the life of me.

[ALiEN509]

//edit
Hints are fine, please no complete answers though

-- And I wrote all of that for nothing ;) . My bad, sorry.

Here's the only hint you should need.

[danball1976]

That helps quite a bit. The later ones I have to go searching though the internet cache to find the page.

[danball1976]

Level 8 password doesn't make any sense.

On level 11, I have figured out what codes 1 and 3 are, but have no clue what the rest are.

Translate level 8's password to english and it makes sense. Oh yeah, for anyone else not on 8 yet, still use the german version of the word, not the english version.

Level 11:
Number 2: No matter how hard I tried I just couldn't get it. Once I got the other four it makes sense though.

Number 4: I can't really figure out a way to give you a hit without giving you the answer so ummm.... d1 is an array.

Number 5: Not the hardest one (2 is) but took the longest. First, click here (http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/98/29/index1a_page3.html?tw=programming). Then work it in reverse since you know what the final product needs to look like.

Can anyone give me a hint for level 10 - im viewing the source of the .js file and all I get is a quote, cant even see where the code is that pops up the password prompt. :(

Number 10 is a trick. You have the wrong code.
