Hack This Site Basic 3

On this 3rd mission, which is fairly easy, the network security guy Sam, has remembered to upload the password file, but don’t worry, as the mission briefing says there is a “deeper problem”, by deeper they meant that you have to look at the source of the page ( Firefox shortcut: Ctrl + u ), and after looking at the source you should find this:

As you can see there is a hidden form field that has the name “file” and it’s value is “password.php”, now let’s take a look at the “password.php” file, we’ll do this by appending the file name to the current page URL which is :

http://www.hackthissite.org/missions/basic/3/

to this :

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

From now all you have to do is copy/paste the password and hit the submit button, Congratz, you have completed the third mission.
