[solved] Logging into HTS with python

[HoleSystem]

I prefer this login better:

Code: Select all

import re
import sys
import md5
import time
import random
import urllib
import urllib2
import getpass
import cookielib

if len(sys.argv) != 3:
        print "usage", sys.argv[0], "<username> <password>"
        print
        sys.stdout.write("enter username: ")
        username = sys.stdin.readline().strip()
        if len(username) == 0:
            sys.exit(0)

        password = getpass.getpass("enter password: ")
        if len(password) == 0:
            sys.exit(0)

else:
        username = sys.argv[1]
        password = sys.argv[2]

cookieJar = cookielib.LWPCookieJar()
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cookieJar))
opener.addheaders = [('User-agent', "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5")]

url = "http://www.google.com"

request = urllib2.Request(url)
page = opener.open(request)
contents = page.read()

Hey, I was having some trouble doing this with just urllib and urllib2.
I had to do it this way cause I couldn't download httplib2 or pycurl for version 2.6 on windows.
Anyway here is the code if anyone runs into the same problem I did.
I used cookie lib to handle the cookies to.

Code: Select all

import urllib, urllib2, cookielib

host = 'www.hackthissite.org'
user_agent = 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0)'
referer = 'http://www.hackthissite.org/user/login'
content_type = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
accept_encoding = 'gzip,deflate'

body = {'username': 'username', 'password': 'password'}


values = {'Host': 'www.hackthissite.org',
          'User-Agent':'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0)',
          'Referer':'http://www.hackthissite.org/user/login',
          'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
          'Accept-Encoding':'gzip,deflate',
          }

#build cookie handler
cj = cookielib.CookieJar()
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cj))
urllib2.install_opener(opener)

#encode request information
data = urllib.urlencode(body)

#send login information
req = urllib2.Request(referer, data, values)
page = urllib2.urlopen(req)


#start opening pages
url = "http://www.hackthissite.org/missions/prog/1/"


page2 = urllib2.urlopen(url)

print page.info()
print "------------------"
print page2.read()

thanks predator for the help!
I had trouble installing Pycurl so I did it your way, and works.

Whoa, there. No need to mega-necro.

Thanks to Defience for the python code. Helped me to get the 10 words.

However, I'm having trouble with the submission part. How do I submit the form once I figure out the 10 words? I have tried many things I found through google.

The best I can get is the "Invalid referer. The requested URL /missions/prog/1/index.php will not be loaded." page.

Code: Select all

url = 'http://www.hackthissite.org/missions/prog/1/index.php'
value = {'solution':answer}    # answer being the string of 10 words
data = urllib.urlencode(value)
req = urllib2.Request(url,data,dicHeaders)
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)


There are too many unknowns for me to go any further. A little bit of info on form submission would be great!

Don't mean to change gears here, but does anyone know how this would be done in Perl?

Three necros in one thread? Really?
