 		Keep in mind that it's being run by people trying to sell "Certified Ethical Hacking" training and certification. While not of the challenges are really hacking IMHO, they are thinking in that vein.

Solution to Challenge 3:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Just back out a directory or two.

 		Is this really an ARG?

Fun regardless, but I'm stuck on #2 Rolling Eyes

Clearly not cut out to be a hacker...

 		Nope, not an ARG - should be renamed and moved to Timewasters, but yes, a bit of fun.

For 2:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
find the code to get the password


EDIT: 3 down onto 4.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I'm sure the blanks must mean sthg...

 		Yah, if you look at the source it becomes clear that the password field doesn't actually do anything. Finding a password is not the solution.

 		Challenge 4 is the first one that was actually worthy of the effort, I thought.

 		I'm not a very good hacker i guess.. I think I know what they're looking for on 4, but I'm not sure exactly.

I'm guessing it doesn't get easier from here either does it? Sad

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The alt tag on the image is hex for "maybe. maybe not." but I dont know what to do with that. The form isn't tied to any script that I can tell, so it doesn't seem that the buttons would do anything. Is it a URL puzzle?

I can tell there is some information contained in the picture, correct? But I'm not sure what to do with it. Or maybe I'm way off.


Nope! Not yet, at least.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I assume you decoded the image's alt text? It wasn't worth much. The answer is in the file linked from the image.

 		Just found this one.

Got through challenge 1 easy enough, on challenge 2

source code means virtually nothing to me, but i can see what you mean when you say the passwrd box isn't linked to script => won't do anything.

Source says my browser can't use frames? I assume if it's in the source it must say this for everyone?

 		Hey diehasselhoffdie! I'm stuck on number 2 aswell but each frame actually frames a certain page.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Specifically you may want to try the one thats called trythis.htm


I used to be good at these wargames but now I suck hard.

 		Working on C4, heres what I have so far:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The linked text file is actually 43 lines long, each line contains a bunch of spaces / tabs. The number of colums in each line is as folows:

62-59-54-48-66-61-62-63-46-50-33-0-0-0-0-0-0...

I don't really see any pattern right now. I have some other things I need to work on, but when I get a chance I was going to try to see if the spaces and tabs worked out to be some sort of Moris Code.
