Private Agent

Only private agents can make their way to the gate.

Solve:

  • After visiting the website, we will see a flashing GIF and a message that says only private agent can see the flag. Website snapshot

  • From the challenge’s name Private Agent and category Web Security, we can conclude that there is something about our browser agent.

  • When viewing the page source, we can notice that there is an important comment:
      <!-- TO_Be_Removed => Privet-Agent access => givittome-->
    
  • Alright, we found an agent givittome, let’s try to make a request to the website with this agent. Burpsuite snapshot

  • Now, we see another output meaning that we are on the right way ! And, the page says to look for the flag somewhere. Website snapshot

  • If we look under our Burp’s http requests tab, we will see the request made and the response to it from the server. Burpsuite snapshot

  • Yup, we see that the server response contains a custom header Xflag and its value indeed is the flag !
