    Well can't help you really. Just checked out this site and after completing the challenge they explicitly ask you not to share the answer :)

    Just open the devtools and play around a bit with the code. It's not that hard to figure out

    @HCC5GDKc7 but like beginners will then struggle.. also that smiley is just straight up passive aggressive. -_-'

    Well honestly I consider myself at level 0 when it comes to pentesting. Once I hacked my neighbors' WEP WIFI password, but that was just copying commands from a tutorial. Other than that completely null. If that's any help - the first task is more like webdevelopment and connecting to an undocumented API than actual hacking. Just keep your eyes open and read the code. If you don't see it right away - read it whole. Top to bottom. HTML, CSS, JS, everything (maybe don't read the JS libs, they're a pretty boring lecture). Prettify everything that's minified and just think. Make some guesses, there are no failed attempts if you learn from them, only the ones that get you closer to the answer

    I went to check it out. Don't have a code. Seems interesting, but not going to wait around for it.

    Sorry I couldn't help you. :-)

    You have to hack in. (was stuck on this for a bit)

    You can run commands in the console. (i didn't know I could do this, was stuck here too)

    I don't know if they designed it to be exclusionary or not. Maybe they did. If you cannot figure it out even with help from websites then maybe its not on your list of things that would be fun. I don't know your skills or mindset. I got stuck, found a site that talked about it, then did most of the stuff up front. Was trying to run some of the code in a JS evaluator. Then realized there is one in the browser, DOH! After that it was not too bad.

    HackTheBox is not intended for absolute beginners. If you cannot pass the invite code challenge, you'll have no chance at the actual machines.

    @PrivateGER so.. where do you go for absolute beginners?

    @Trekko727 First start to feel comfortable with the browser console. You'll need it a lot.
    Learn to debug JS. Learn PHP. Much HTB stuff is written with it.

    That should get you in.

    Then learn Linux. You can do that while doing a machine and searching up things you don't know.
