HackThisSite - JavaScript Mission 6

Challenge

Fiftysixer decided to try his hand at javascript! All was going well until he realized that he forgot to remove the unused code, which resulted in a confusing mess. He didn’t mind, in fact, he did his best to make it even MORE confusing!

Find the password:

索引名 go go away .js，难度 Weird。主页面只留一段自相矛盾的误导脚本，真正的比较藏在外部文件 checkpass.js 里。

Solution

关卡页 https://www.hackthissite.org/missions/javascript/6/ 通过 <script src="/missions/javascript/6/checkpass.js"></script> 引入外部脚本。
页面内联脚本故意留下大量未使用且自相矛盾的代码：check() 里出现 "hack_this_site" 字面量和跳向 about:blank 的分支，这些都被真链路旁置。
表单真正调用的是内联的 checkpassw(this.value)，它把输入写进 RawrRawr 再调用外部脚本里的 checkpass()。

拉取主页面与外部脚本：

$ curl -s -b "$HTS_COOKIE" \
    -H "Referer: https://www.hackthissite.org/missions/javascript/6/" \
    "https://www.hackthissite.org/missions/javascript/6/" -o lvl6.html
$ curl -s -b "$HTS_COOKIE" \
    -H "Referer: https://www.hackthissite.org/missions/javascript/6/" \
    "https://www.hackthissite.org/missions/javascript/6/checkpass.js" -o checkpass.js

RawrRawr = "moo";
function check(x) {
  "+RawrRawr+" == "hack_this_site";
  if (x == "" + RawrRawr + "") {
    alert("Rawr! win!");
    window.location = "about:blank";
  } else {
    alert("Rawr, nope, try again!");
  }
}

function checkpassw(moo) {
  RawrRawr = moo;
  checkpass(RawrRawr);
}

check() 里那条 "+RawrRawr+" == "hack_this_site" 是一条无副作用的裸表达式语句，about:blank 分支也永远不会给站点送出密码：表单并不调用 check()。真正的入口是 checkpassw(moo) → checkpass(RawrRawr)，而 checkpass 定义在外部文件里。这正是题面说的忘了删掉没用的代码。

dairycow = "moo";
moo = "pwns";
rawr = "moo";

function checkpass(pass) {
  if (pass == rawr + " " + moo) {
    alert("How did you do that??? Good job!");
    window.location = "../../../missions/javascript/6/?lvl_password=" + pass;
  } else {
    alert("Nope, try again");
  }
}

决定性的比较是 pass == rawr+" "+moo：rawr="moo"、moo="pwns"，中间夹一个空格字面量 " "。dairycow="moo" 在本文件里没被使用

从抓下来的 checkpass.js 里把变量逐个读出来再按比较式拼接：

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Recover the JavaScript Mission 6 password from the external script.

index.php loads /missions/javascript/6/checkpass.js; the winning comparison
there is  pass == rawr+" "+moo  with  dairycow="moo",  rawr="moo",  moo="pwns".

The inline check() (RawrRawr / "hack_this_site" / about:blank) is dead code;
the form calls checkpassw() which forwards to the external checkpass().
The password is exactly "rawr + ' ' + moo" -- the single space included.
