In this Web Exploitation CTF challenge, we’re given a basic website that seems simple — but hides the solution in plain sight. Let’s walk through how to solve it step by step, using basic web tools and observation skills.
✅ Step 1: Access the CTF Web Portal
The first thing I did was visit the challenge link. It opened a simple login page that asked for a username and password.
At first glance, it looked like a standard login — nothing suspicious, no errors, no clues in the source code.

🔑 Step 2: Enter Dummy Credentials
I entered some dummy credentials to test how the page behaves:
Username: dee
Password: 123

Then, I clicked the Login button.
This didn’t give me access, but it did trigger a request in the background — something that can be useful.
