good website. although i'm terrible at it Sad i wanna see hacker dan's score i'm sure it will be high.

do u have any suggestions on how to go about hacking some of the passwords. like for the beginner one i'm still on it although this is my first time ever trying something like this. the only way i can think of is go to view source and see if the password is there. is there any other things u can do?

Well, I viewed source in order to register, but I haven't really tried the other stuff. There are apps that help with this. I've only really done the logic ones.

Oi, this once again reminds me of another topic where we had:

http://www.hackits.de
http://www.try2hack.nl/

Only one I actually tried a bit on was the hackits one, but I think it's changed now... It seems like this one is more about finding the right program to help you out. I find it better if you have to do the work for yourself.

Hmmm? Do you mean the one I posted? Because so far I've done all the work myself...

@Cool Dude I've only realy done the logic ones, and those don't really need examples. I don't know java or javascript really so I've been avoiding those. There are also a lot of strange puzzles in Special and Stegano.

Oh wow, some of these are pretty challenging. I would do a lot better if I knew more programming. I think the people here would like the programming, crackit tasks. If you find them too hard, do the logics and get the mindset.

Wow, both of you wanna send me how you did that?

I really like the "To Boldly Go"

I haven't gotten it yet, but I think its like the logic problem with the men standing facing a wall with hats on if anyone knows what I mean.

NOTE: IGNORE MY POST BEFORE, I MADE A CALCULATION ERROR, GANDALF WAS RIGHT.

well its really easy:

1
2
10
140
5740

2/1 = 2
10/2 = 5
140/10 = 14
5740/140 = 41

new series: 2, 5, 14, 41
difference: 5-2. 14-5, 41-14

new series: 3, 9, 27
as you can see, it goes in 3^x
where x is like a counter.

so 3 = 3^1
so 9 = 3^2
so 27 = 3^3
next will be 3^4 = 81

new series: 3, 9, 27, 81
old series modified: 2, 5, 14, 41, 122 (I mistook this for 81 before, logic error)

old series modified, now I have to times 122 by 5740 to get the old one

122 * 5740 = 700,280

Dude that was only a 3 series one, you have got to see the ones that take around half an hour and go upto 10-11 series, its insane. it only took like 4-5 minutes to do that one, I am sure others can do it in 1 minute.
