Find the Secret webpage (Credit: RiversideRocks)

Credit: @RiversideRocks for the original puzzle.

Your goal is to get access to /secret, but using a signup forum. If you read carefully, and get the somewhat obvious hints, then you can get to the secret file.

Someone finished it! It was @Ghostoblivion! , then @wh0, then @youngchief.

The source is here and just read the README.md file.

Hint: On the /create page , the quote /logs has some of the best logs ever. may have a special meaning.

I have no idea! I was able to view the signup logs, but after that I got nothing.

Is this made in PHP or Node?

By the looks of it, I’m 99% sure its node.

Is it SQL injections? I tried but it didn’t work.

It also using Jsoning as a db, so that may not work…

Yep, I thought it was as it has a different not found error than php

There are no Linux command that you need to know. Look at https://groovy-thundering-guitar.glitch.me/logs/id

It does not use shell commands because people could use commands to destroy the server.js script.

It contains where the

  • Secret page is
  • The URL Parameter that you need to access it
  • The key for the URL parameter.

Should I add another hint?
