Basic Web Hacking Challenges

I tried to go to the basic web hacking challenges and it logged me out and told me to I must be logged in to play but I click some other challenge links and I could get to those, why's that?

hit refresh on the basic page. you have the not logged in one cached

Check if your cookies are set for hellboundhackers.org or www.hellboundhackers.org since the 'www.' part actually matters :p

You can simply add/remove the www part of the URL when needed to match your cookies.

You know this bit had me stumped for ages. I thought it was part of the challenge at one point and started finding ways around it :(

Still, got there in the end.

hey make sure ur using firefox as the rare occasions i use IE the cookie settings dont seem to like certain sites
