Tips for the Javascript challenges

I'm not going to do every mission apart, this article will just give you some basic tips on how to beat the javascript challenges.

  1. The most importand rule of hacking on the web ALWAYS CHECK THE SOURCE CODE! the source code holds at least one little line of javascript.

2)When you get an alert or an inputbox before the page is fully loaded you will not be able to get a hold of the source code the 'normal' way. But don't panic there is a way to 'view-source:' in FireFox, whitout triggering the inputbox or the alert.

  1. Try to find the script, sometimes the script is in the source code, but it can also be stored in an apart .JS file.

  2. Read about basic javascript commands and try to make some javascripts on your own. That way you wil be able to edit the JS from the challenge so it will just tell you the password (ALERT;)

  3. Last but not least a link that may come in handy sometimes. http://www.yellowpipe.com/yis/tools/encrypter/index.php

  • Besure to have the 'remind me' box checked when you logon. Outherwise you will sometimes not be able to get a hold of the right source code. -
