Javascript Mission 7

[desalater]

Im not sure if this happened by fluke accident or is meant to be this way but umm not to give off any spoilers it was kinda as simple as looking at something.

There are a couple of ways you can do this, but I think the most useful solution, and the one with the most real world applications (where you can't rely on Firefox add-ons or Chrome) may be found in the following link:

Not intended to be a spoiler, it will still take some thinking and work on your part!

Firebug seems like cheating...

got this in about 10 seconds, came to this thread to figure out why it was so easy... I see a lot of people talk about deobscurifying and stuff pretty much over complicating the entire thing

So went back and checked how I solved and it wasn't the same... turns out I got lucky in the way I selected what I did, seems I cheated the entire mission by mistake

I'll be completely honest. I feel like a retarded donkey. I have still not figured this out after reading all the posts. Sure, I figured out how to solve it with Firebug, but that's not solving, that's just cheating, and I'm not here to score points, but to learn.

After reading the entire thread and still being stuck, I kind of raged and decided to try to find a video tutorial on youtube. There were lots, almost 10 of them, and EVERY SINGLE ONE used some goofy "translator" or FireBug to solve it. If FireBug can solve it, so can we.

But how? I can manualle convert hex / binary / ascii between each other, but it takes forever, and people are mentioning how easy it is. Then again, 90% of the people saying it was easy also used FireBug or some other addon, and this is irrelevant for me.

I have tried javascript: document.write(*the obfuscation*), both the entire line and various tiny pieces of it, and nothing triggers a new site with content. I tried several variants of getElementById, no go. I tried alert(name of the variable) and that worked, but the rest didn't.

I'm sure there is a faster way to do it than I have tried and it's probably laughing me right in the face, but for now, I am blind.

Anyone who could PM me with a friendly kick in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

Try writing a .js script to decrypt it. If i remember correctly it was obfuscated a few times. Do what you would do manually, but just have the script do the grunt work.

Why do it manually? Any computer (or even a really nice pocket calculator!) can do it instantly. No firebug needed for this one.

1. Find a variable name and 'alert' it.
2. Google the javascript method that you see contained within the result.
3. Use that new found knowledge combined with a second alert and you will see your password.

(Think I was vague enough for this to not be considered a spoiler, apologies if not.)

Microsoft Excel is a very useful tool.

I did this without any help but notepad and a hex viewer
Think about how hex is set out ( mission 5 )

Hint:
Replace part of it with something else

Most people aren't going to do it this way. You don't need notepad or a hex editor for the Javascript missions.
