Hacker101 CTF- A little something to get you started

I recently got interested in CTF's and figured Hacker101 is the best place to start. In this series, I will be documenting my progress with flag 'hunting'. The series is more of a journal on my part, but I would be happy if it helped someone. Don't worry, I won't post the flags themselves, just the method I used to find them.

  • Difficulty: Trivial
  • Skills: Web

Inspecting the page source, I noticed that there is a background image in the body. Weirdly, this image is called directly from the local directory. For this reason, I added background.png to the website address and got the flag.
