Hack This Site (HTS) Javascript 4 - Var?

But that's what it said! right?

Faith is trying to trick you... she knows that you're tired after all the math works...



The difficulty rating for this one is easy for a reason! What's involved to get the password is as easy as the first mission, however it takes a bit more thinking 'outside of the box'. There's not a lot more that can be said in this tutorial as it really is quite simple.

Although most websites will not use this kind of mechanism for logins (well... we hope so from their point of view but from ours it makes the job a lot easier :)) they will try and obscure information using javascript and other tricks like this. For example, if you look at the source code for many video hosting websites you will notice that they have the location of the video embedded somewhere in the code, so we can easily come along and simply paste it into our address bar and download the video. However, try and do this to a website like veoh or youtube and it's not quite as easy to find.
