ACADEMY: Web Requests - a nudge would be appreciated

thank you!

Hi kons, I didn’t get the logic for hex string in the cookie (admin_xxx). Any tip?

You must replace it by something different than guest_xxxxx. Then encode it URL. Somebody up there in the first posts said very accurately “Guests can be many, but how mnay admins?”

Does it give you a clue?

I had the same feeling, man!

this is solution:
-------> http://64.227.39.89:31203/flag.php?num1=0&num2=1337

Enter admin/password as user_name and password
→Go to page of “admin_xxxxxxxx”
→Not “admin” page!!
→"admin" and “admin_xxxxxxxx” are diffrent user!!

So, you need to go to “admin” page.

Cookie, acquired by enter admin/password, belongs to “admin_xxxxxxxx”.

You should get Cookie for “admin”.

Try to decode some Cookies, to find regularity!!

Good luck!!
