Hack This Site (HTS) Javascript 3 - Math Time!

Faith is going to test your math skills and your javascript operations

Faith is going hardcore with javascript operators...



Javascript 3 is based on the operators available in all programming and scripting languages. By looking at the source code we see that the password function does a number of mathematical functions to a number of variables and this links with the password itself. The use of google here to do the sums for us is to ensure that no mistakes are made in the calculations and to put emphasis on how useful google can really be.

After working out the sums:

foo: 47
bar: 7
moo: 14
rar: N/A

We know the value of what of moo is 14 and this somehow relates to the password. The next step is to see what the javascript function "length" returns. After looking up the function we see that it returns "the length of the string (in characters)." This is very important as it is the difference between the answer being the value 14, or a string consisting of 14 characters in length. in this case, I used: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hack This Site (HTS) Javascript 2 - Disable Javascript

The key to this missions is the information given above. When you click on the link you see this redirect script work and make you "lose" the mission. By simply turning off javascript within your browser you disable any javascript content on a web page; in this case you stop the execution of the redirect script.

Hack This Site (HTS) Javascript 1 - Idiot Test

Faith is learning Javascript, the only thing that is protecting her from hackers is luck.

"Faith is learning javascript"



Similar to Basic 1, this mission requires very little, if any, javascript knowledge. A simple look at the source code shows us that the function that handles the login takes the password and checks if it is equal to "cookies".

Lack of tutorials recently...

Due to it being such a busy time for me at the moment and the the length of time needed to create the tutorials, write the articles and upload them etc my posts won't be regular for the next few weeks. Also, the harder the task the longer and more in-depth the tutorials need to be so I've decided to take a break from the last two basic missions on hackthissite.org and start doing the javascript missions. I've already made the video's for all these missions so they just need the articles to go along with them which means I get to post slightly more regularly as they aren't quite as complicated as the basics.
