Another day, another challenge…

In today’s blog post, we’re going to solve level 5 from the Natas wargame challenge.

Let’s begin.

Going to the following link and entering username of “natas5” and password of “iX6IOfmpN7AYOQGPwtn3fXpbaJVJcHfq” we see the following:

Natas5_WarGame_1

After pressing “OK” we see:

Natas5_WarGame_5

Hmm… we see that we’re not logged in and access is disallowed.

Using Tamper Data, let’s see if the request headers show us a way to bypass the login feature.

Opening the Tamper Data application and refreshing the website we see:

Natas5_WarGame_2

Hmm… we see inside the Cookie that there is a loggedin that is currently set to zero. What if we change it to 1?

Changing the loggedin feature to 1 and pressing Enter we see:

Natas5_WarGame_4

Natas5_WarGame_3

We received the flag!

Another day, another challenge…

Today’s blog post we’re going to solve level 4 from the Natas wargame.

Let’s begin.

Going to the following link we see:

Natas4_WarGame_1

After entering the username of “natas4” and password of “Z9tkRkWmpt9Qr7XrR5jWRkgOU901swEZ” we get the following:

Natas4_WarGame_2

Hmm… we’re not allowed access because we’re coming from an invalid URL. Let’s see if we can change that.

In a previous blog, I explained how to user Tamper Data. Tamper Data allows you to modify HTTP requests and responses to see if the web page will behave differently.

We’re going to use Tamper Data for this challenge.

 

Starting Tamper Data, and going to the level 4 we see:

Natas4_WarGame_4

We see that the referrer shows natas4, what happens when we change it to natas5?

 

Changing the referrer to natas5, and clicking OK we see:

Natas4_WarGame_5

Natas4_WarGame_6

We found the flag!

Another day, anther challenge…

In today’s challenge we will solve level 3 from the Natas wargame. Let’s begin.

Going to the following link, and entering the username of “natas3” and password we retrieved from the second challenge we see:

Natas3_WarGame_1

Password from level 2:

Natas2_WarGame_6

Pressing Enter we see:

Natas3_WarGame_2

Doing a right click, view source we see:

Natas3_WarGame_3

Hmm… we have a hint. “No more information leaks!! Not even Google will find it this time…”

Knowing a thing or two about how Google indexes websites, I know that some websites use a robots.txt file. Let’s see if this website is using that.

Entering “robots.txt” at the end of the URL we see:

Natas3_WarGame_4

OK – the first parameter user-agent specifies that any agent is allowed. We’re disallowing the /s3cr3t/ folder. Let’s go to this folder and see what’s there…

Entering the /s3cret/ folder we see:

Natas3_WarGame_5

Hmm… there’s a users.txt file. Let’s see what’s there.

Natas3_WarGame_6

We found the password for level 4!
