Honestly we're not exactly sure what was the idea behind this task. We get a link to a webapplication which says:
After much research, I've found on stackoverflow.com how to protect my framework app.
And there is a link to /getflag
, but there is a password prompt when we try to go there.
It seems the authentication is based on some regex rather than on directory structure since going to /getflags
also gives us authentication prompt and not 404 error.
Additionally we can see that going to /index.php
and /index.php/
gives us the same results.
This all suggests some mod_rewrite magic underneath.
We simply tried to see what will happen if we do /index.php/getflag
, which would depend on the regex rules order, and we got the flag:
