Basic Mission 4

[Karec]

Place to post questions or hints (not spoilers) about Basic Mission 4.

Description: An email script has been set up, which sends the password to the administrator.
Requirements: HTML knowledge, a valid email address.

Notice: There were a lot of spoilers in this thread, that didn't just spoil this mission but the ones before it. I left the one relevant hint up and everything spoilery was deleted.

Think about it.
The vulnerability in the problem is that Sam has made a script to send himself the password if he forgets, and that it doesn't even require him to have a username and password. So how does the script know that it's sending the password to sam? What is telling the script to send it to sam? And if so is there a way of making the password send to you instead? The keyword is "@"

ok so i know what it is but i just cant work out how to change it, do i do it in the actual source of the page or do i go somewhere else? can someone give me a shove in the general direction?

You can use Notepad to create basic HTML websites, by writing code into it, saving the file as a '.htm' then opening it up again to view it as a webpage.

so its about manipulating the script to go to SPOILER, but for a beginner how do you use the notepad to create a new site?

i discoverd how to get the script and i did but when i put the password in it said that it was not a valid one. WTF?!?! i did everything right unless theres something im missing. could the password possibly be different everytime? and y does it only allow you to send the scrip once? if anyone knows please give me a hint

The password for basic missions is different for each member, but the same for every session you are in - it doesn't change.

You can "send the script" more than once.


This is a matter of knowing how to edit, save, and open HTML documents.

If it's not working, you aren't doing it right.

You can also do this like you do in basic 5. Yeah, you can.
