Any help on level 8?

I understand that you will be taken to whatever you type in the box with ".htm" added on the end, but how do you know what the web address is supposed to be?

EDIT: Hehe, got it....

which popup you mean? the password one?

you need to be on the entry page to level 6.
instead of clicking the "enter" link, right-click and save-as (someone mentioned it already)

then open that file locally to view source.

any hints on number 8? That one seems like just "guess the URL" to me - that can't be right...

Yea, I couldn't get level 8.... I skipped to level 10 and finished it out from there, but I'm still curious.

Edit: NM, Got it

Level 10 sucks when you dont have web access! You can't do wget through an authenticated proxy :( So I'm stuck till I get home, the rest were all cake.

I still can't get lvl 3. I'm a newb at h4xing. I opened the source and I know it has something to do with

<body bgcolor="#000000" link="#235711">

Do I have to convert that number to hex or something?

Level 11 requires cheating because the javascript code is bugged.
Specifically there is no value e such that e.substring(1,2) + e.substring (4,5)+ e.substring (6,7) + e.substring (0,1) + e.substring(5,6)+ e.substring(2,3) + e.substring(3,4) == "e..m.et".

They are looking for "meet." but that doesn't actually work.

Doesn't work with the extra periods either. The person who wrote that piece of javascript misinterpreted substring(x,y) as taking characters in the index range [x;y) when the function actually uses the range [x;x+y)

Manually editing the URL for the page it's supposed to redirect you to, where they have you enter the 5 passwords again just incase you cheated and got there that way, it becomes quite apparent they actually are looking for meet with exactly one period after it. (even though this doesn't work on the previous input form).

I am on 13 now...all of you that know about future puzzles are googling these?

most of it up to this point was easy if you are a programmer/math guy. Nothing too odd if you have worked in hiding web code.

But as the game proves almost anything your browser needs to see you can too :)

15 now.....htaccess one.

3 periods works for me :confused:
