Log in as user dev
Difficulty: Easy
[Wiretapped communication from: The break room.]
Maddie: Is it really okay that anyone can log into the dev account by [inaudible]?
Mukhamediyar: Seems secure to me.
Maddie: But doesn’t it rely on security through obscurity?
Mukhamediyar: Shannon’s maxim is a hoax, bro. Big Cryptography invented it to control the sheeple.
Maddie: Um…if you say so.
Developers use an account with the username dev
to perform quality assurance
testing on UnicornBox. Fortunately for us, they’re sloppy and haven’t cleaned up
any leftover comments before releasing UnicornBox. See if you can find a way to
get dev
’s password and log in.
Your task: Log in as user dev
through the login page. Note that gaining
access to dev
’s account through other means will not satisfy this flag.
