Hah all you need is notepad and IE. Get the URL to the page, then use some oldschool html in notepad and make a link to the page <a href="addresS">blah</a> then open the page in IE and rite click on link and save the destination 🙂
 
I dunno if this is coincidence, but on that page where u get the "not level 4" it says something about an sfv, which I remember as a file type that has something to do with winrar when it splits up a bunch of files.

I'm probably just thinking too hard...

Ok... looking at the source:
The PASSWORD and the CORRECTSITE are defined after the if statement. They put the WRONGSITE as the actual site to mislead us.

Thus, you have to look into the code to figure it out. Now, I don't know java or javascript, but I remember C++ classes.

When it checks, it says something about "location.href = CORRECTSITE"

This makes me think that there's some sort of location file stored somewhere that we can access to figure out the information. Armed with this knowledge, I tried a bunch of extensions (xhtml, js, sfv, txt, etc) and nothing as worked yet.

So... if anyone can use what I've found to figure it out...

EDIT: Oh yeah... my point was that you didn't need a packet sniffer

How did you cheat? I don't think it is possible (unless someone told you what it was).

Just "view source" and go thru the coding and script and crap like this

</style>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function Try(passwd) {
if (passwd =="pw was here") {
alert("Alright! On to level 2...");
location.href = "level2-xfdgnh.xhtml";


simple but level 2 is broke? HEHE only try this if u give up.

That isn't cheating... that is how you are supposed to do it 😛

No, I think correctsite is a variable defined somewhere...

No, I think correctsite is a variable defined somewhere, not a file name.

Open up notepad, save the swf, drag and drop swf into notepad...

ok.. 1 hint on level 3 --- look near metatags
Click to expand...

Comparing the source of level 2 with level 1, the only difference I see is:
"<script src="JavaScript"></script>"

So apparently the file is called JavaScript, but I can't find how to access it from the website...
