    http://scifi.pages.at/hackits/ has a series of tests or levels to see how good your logic or knowledge with the web is.

    No, it's nothing bad, I know it has the word hackits in it but it's nothing bad.

    What it is is a site that tests how much you can figure out or "hack" on the site. You try to figure out the passwords that are in the source code. There are a series of levels, and this site made this area for that reason, to try to "hack" your way to the top.

    Give it a try, it's very addicting!

    perhaps u could post tips? lol sry ive never tried this b4 looks like fun...

    All I can say is you can start but looking at the source and studying it. The first 3 have the passwords unencrypted for the most part... 4 has encryption in ASCII, and 5 I'm workin' on.

    ok so it took me like an hour to get to number 9... im there and when i solve it i get a 404. Anyone else have this problem?
  8. lalaji Newcomer, in training Posts: 155

    Nevermind guys... its working now.... guess the site was down for a while. On to level 10.
  9. XtR-X Newcomer, in training Posts: 1,040

    Wow you guys are pretty good... well I need help on 8... any pointers?
  10. lalaji Newcomer, in training Posts: 155

    Hey Xtr, Think of other ways to get around the password. IE try to find the end page without putting in the password. Has nothing to do with source code.
  11. XtR-X Newcomer, in training Posts: 1,040

    Yeah, that's easy. But I mean... what's the point of "hacking" the password out if you just want to go to the next page?

    That's why I'm working for the passwords.

    Easiest way to get through it is using Konqueror browser for Linux
  13. lalaji Newcomer, in training Posts: 155

    OK Xtr... youve got a point. So i went back... and figured out the answer to #8. I now know the prompt password. It is more satisfying that way. Good call.
  14. lalaji Newcomer, in training Posts: 155

    And now I am stuck on 10... great.
  15. XtR-X Newcomer, in training Posts: 1,040

    Addicting, isn't it? :D ;) :grinthumb
  16. lalaji Newcomer, in training Posts: 155

    yeah.... got through 10... when i dled the source file for some reason it was the wrong source... dont know why... eventually got the right one though... now im stuck on 13.... if anyone else is there or past it please lemme know.

    Any tips for a guy who has never used JavaScript. I am on number 3. :) Maybe I can make it further. ;)

    Just figured out 3, on to 4.

    I am really stuck here, which is annoying. I'm stuck on number 7, and fast running out of ideas.

    Having not done this sort of thing much before, It's quite a learning curve!

    I'm using mozilla 1.6, and I "saved target as" .txt, thus giving me source.

    Problem is, the only part of the source related to the password that I have is

    "<!--
    var passwort, i;

    //-->"

    Which doesn't say a lot other than that there are two variables called "passwort", and "i"

    could somebody give me a push in the right direction?
