Any idea how to complete this level.

So as far as I can understand I have to bypass the filter and execute this code <script>alert('HackThis!!');</script> so that when I put this code in the textarea provided and click on submit it should show me an JS alert. I hope I am correct so far. But the question is which filter needs to be bypassed. Will have to do some googling I guess.

Everyone who are currently on this level please share you thoughts.

It’s actually quite simple…. since the script tags are filtered out, try to come up with a payload that is not detdetectedected :D

I did manage to execute a lot of them vectors and all pop-up an alert box but level requires something different I suppose.

Me too. I tried to inject some simple XSS at first. It WAS successful but I couldn’t “bypass the filter” as expected. Gotta figure out how the code was filtered. ;)

You need to make the output be exactly the same as the given code.

@Stoned , u have to make the >output< the same as <script>alert('HackThis!!');</script>

Its not about getting the alert popup I think cause I completed the level without even getting the pop up.

It should look exactly like it but also work. What you tried looks like it, yes but it won’t work :)

It’s indeed really simple, take a look what exactly is filtered and try to bypass it. @0xDC’s post is very helpful :)

I don’t think it has anything to do with completing the level. I know that there is a hidden input but I don’t think it has anything to do with completing the level. I might be wrong though.

The hidden input is nothing to do with completing the level … for more information on what it is see https://www.hackthis.co.uk/articles/cross-site-request-forgery

@AHSR: As we mentioned above, you have to print the exact output as requirement:
<script>alert('HackThis!!');</script>
It isn’t not about making the alert box appear.

This Is a filtration which can not execute our code

this same filtration is also on Facebook,Gmail,Yahoo etc.

If You Bypass this here
then you will also bypass facebook,Gmail and all such websites.
and you will be rewarded by facebook.
Good Luck buddy.

It has to be exactly this:
<script>alert('HackThis!!');</script>
Your way works but isn’t the way how it was intended.
I actually already wrote flabby a pm because I don’t think this should work..

I won’t send you the solution.
Take a look at the hints posted in here they are quite useful and the level is not as hard as it might seem to be.

Yeah I don’t deem it that hard once I’ve completed it. But it’s indeed a bit haywire. Either ways, previous posts are enough of hints for anyone attempting it.

For anyone who is still struggling with this level.read @0xDC post about this.especially the last word,it’s really important

To all the people out there struggling with this level:

The idea is NOT to create an XSS but to BYPASS the XSS filter. As you might have noticed, the script tags are filtered out, there is a (rather simple) way to bypass this. Create a payload where the end result is the script tags are displayed.

Another clue can be found in my earlier posts and I normally don’t make typos (another hint).

Good luck to you all!

No need to search for bypassing techniques. As you can clearly tell in addition to what everyone is saying, anything that comes between tags gets filtered out.

No fancy encoding and stuff needed though. Trick is to confuse the application that you’re not using anything between tags but in reality you are.

Yes 0xDC is correct, all you need to do is to fiddle with the tag and also the previous post by 0xDC provides a very big clue to solve this level. Look at the last word posted by 0xDC very carefully in the previous post.

The key to complete this level is tags will be strippedand the “Content” will remain :)

That is a simple bypassing technique for a specific (read: bad) protection. I’ve actually seen this one out there…

silverrp123, a hard way and an easy way to solve this.
1- the easy way : simple google search on stupid ways to filter from xss and understanding str_replace() function in php + some really simple logic
2- the hard way, keep saying your hints does not help or i did not understand your hint in the forum and waiting for someone to hand you the answer and not doing some reading or googling in the first place.

you are going the hard way.
