I joined today. So far I've got to mission 5 in the basic stuff. It is pretty fun, but it gives me a headache

I figured out how to do the first 4 application challenges, and I'm going to try 5 now. I got messed up because I thought they wanted the WinZIP password. Kicked myself when I realized my mistake.

Anyways, I don't really think that we need a seperate forum for this. If it comes to questions, we can ask on the HTS forum. I don't think this thread is going to get huge, and besides, we have a mod amongst us.

.

I'm tied with Noob right now.

hackthissite.org or HTS is a site dedicated to learning about the security of websites and programs. Basicly what happens is that you you give a senario on their site that you have to complete. ie: find a password, correct a hacked site, or "fix" a poll. The site is a lot of fun and is a great learning experience.

DO IT LUC! DO IT!

So, I tried application 5, and I'm stuck. I got OllyDbg like the people on the HTS forum said, but I can't figure it out. has anybody here tried that one? Apperantly 5 and 6 are almost identical.

Meh, this still smells illegal.

How is it illegal? A owner of a site asks to to hack his own site. No harm done to anyone or anything....

Just because you know how to hack doesn't mean you're breaking the law.

The HTS Legal Disclaimer wrote: HTS Legal Information
In any site as large as ours that deals with so many controversial topics and skills, it has become necessary to address a few incidents and implement a user terms and services agreement. We want to provide a free, safe and legal training environment to the public, but we can only do so if members of the community do not put us in legal risk.

What's this about federal investigations?
It's true. Key organizer Jeremy Hammond(Xec96) among several other HTS users have been questioned by FBI agents as a result of being involved in the Hack This Site community, political activist groups, and having presences at large hacker conventions such as DEFCON or HOPE. This does NOT mean that being associated with Hack This Site, participating in the debates, practicing your skills or knowing these people mean that you should expect visitors in black suits. But this DOES mean that they are watching, and that you need to be very careful what you say and what you do. However, this should NOT hold you back from doing the things you want to do with your life. You just need to play it smart. It is strongly recommended that you read up on and practice good security culture(and here's a great place to start).

Oh no! Double post!

Oh well! Just wanted to announce that Luc has joined our hacking circle. Welcome to the club! I'm kind of suprised you didn't announce that yourself.

You don't need Firefox. a lot of idiots went around telling people that you do, but I have done all of them using both IE and Firefox. I had the exact same results in both.
