OOPSS!!! What’s that. It’s a challenge. We need to hack the page and get the invite code. After entering the invite code than only we will be able to Sign Up. What should we do now :-(

No worries :-D

Get some help by clicking on the button click Here! There is a hint “You could check the console…”

Ummmm!!! So now we need to find out console. Console enables you to interact with a web page by executing JavaScript expressions in the context of the page.

Open the Developer Tools by right clicking > Inspect.

Here we found the console. There we got another hint “This page loads an interesting javascript file. See if you can find it :) ”

Now, we need to find a javascript file that is related to the invite code. See in the source code there is a link “/js/inviteapi.min.js” . This link can be useful to us.

Go to the link- https://www.hackthebox.eu/js/inviteapi.min.js

Here, we found some commands that can be useful for us.

Commands:- makeInviteCode , invite , generate can be useful. makeInviteCode seems to be most useful. Lets try this in console.

Go back to the link https://www.hackthebox.eu/invite and then go to console. Type the command.

Here we got another link. Follow the link-https://www.hackthebox.eu/api/invite/how/to/generate (it’s a post type request)

This error was expected because the link we followed is a POST type but the browser generates GET type request.

Use CMD (command prompt) if you are using Windows to generate a POST type request.

Use the command:

curl -XPOST https://www.hackthebox.eu/api/invite/how/to/generate

We got a data which is BASE64 encrypted. Copy the data. Go to any online BASE64 decoder.

Again we got another link which is again a post request. So go back to CMD and use same command as earlier.

Again, we found a code which is encoded. It may be a BASE64 encodes. Copy and paste in decoder and check if we find some useful content.

We found some code , it may be our invite code. Copy the code and go back to the link https://www.hackthebox.eu/invite and paste it.

YEAH!!! This was our invite code.

Here is the sign up form for us. Register Now.

H4PPY H4CK1NG!!!

Thank you:-)
