  • Here are the login details.
Username: natas20
URL: http://natas20.natas.labs.overthewire.org

  • Here we get a session warning so we might guess this level Session Handing type level. let’s view the source code.
  • This source code contains important paragraphs that can help us understand the level better and provide hints.
  • Here they talk about debug so let’s search debug in URL.
  • Debug message indicates Session file doesn’t exist. However, reloading the page reads from the session file.
