Since I covered my Extended Basic missions, I thought I'd cover the rest of my missions as well. In this article, I will guide you through App 16, Stego 13, and JS 7. (A new stego and realistic mission are in the works, so stayed tuned for that as well).

First up: App 16!

Okay, there seems to be confusion about this one. Nebukadnezar solved it with a decompiler and even wrote an article about it, however; its hardly the "very easy way".
To beat this mission, you will need to find where files are stored temporarily in Windows. Once you find the right folder you need to find the right file. I'll give you a hint: The program is actually a compiled batch file.
From there you can either enter the pass into the program, or just get the pass from the source. Congratz!


Next: Stego 13!

For some reason this one perplexed both Nines and Bhaal. Even though the latter beat the BETA of my realistic mission in under 30 minutes, this one gave him problems. Maybe it's due to the fact that there's no definite way to go about it, seeing as stego has no real rules.
Unlike some stegos, which have no technical aspects, this one does. The premise is based on the Bitmap image structure. If you add filler to a bmp image.. it will shift everything after that point in the image to the right and loop back around. Now imagine each row of pixels as a row on a Rubix Cube.


Last: JS 7!

This one looks hard at first sight, but in reality is EXTREMELY easy. The hard way to do it would be to use inline JS and alert the values in the source. For example:
If you wanted to know what String.fromCharCode(77, 117, 116, 97, 110, 116, 32, 82, 111, 99, 107, 115, 33) was, you could just execute this:


CODE :


The above would alert: Mutant Rocks! You can do the same with the source for JS 7. Even simpler, since the browser must decode it before it can be written to the page, it has to store that value somewhere. You can find this by viewing DOM source. I'll let you figure out how to do that on your own.


I hope these helped some people. Good luck and Happy Hacking!
