Description:

Sam has gotten wise to all the people who wrote their own forms to get the password. Rather than actually learning the password, he decided to make his email program a little more secure.

Requirements:

  • HTML knowledge & an email address.

Hints:

  • The script sends the password to the administrator, but… who says it has to go to the administrator?

Difficulty: Easy.

Points: 25

Solution:

Looking in the HTML source code for “Send password to Sam” form we find the one interesting hidden input field with name=“to” value=“[email protected]”.

Level 5.1

It seems that server will send the password to this email so we can change this to our own email address and we can receive the password.

Level 5.2

Level 5.3

And we successfully received the email with password.

Note: the email will only be sent if you provide your HackThisSite profile email address.

Happy Hacking
