🕸️ Web Module – The Silk-Tailed Spidery Secrets 🦊💻
In the far corner of the dojo, past the cryptic terminals and beneath the flickering neon banners, lies a shadowy chamber tangled with lines of code and broken login panels. This is the Web Module, a digital playground of secrets—and Fluffy's next battleground.
🌐 The Story Begins...
Fluffy, the fiery-tailed fox with a nose for mischief and mystery, pads softly into the module. A flick of his ear, and he’s already sniffed out the scent of unsecured cookies. The walls here whisper HTTP headers and hum with the quiet tick of hidden JavaScript.
This is where websites are more than just pages—they’re puzzles. And Fluffy? He loves puzzles.
🦊 Fluffy’s Prowess
Fluffy doesn’t brute force—he outsmarts.
He doesn’t just poke at forms—he listens to what they whisper back.
Armed with nothing but a browser, some burrowing tools, and his legendary instincts, Fluffy dances through DOMs and devtools like a phantom in the firewall.
🧠 What He'll Need
- 🧭 Curiosity sharper than any fox fang
- 🛠️ Tools like Burp Suite, curl, and his favorite browser
- 🔐 An eye for patterns, and a love for tricksy things
📝 Final Log (Scrawled in Pawwriting)
“They said the login was secure. They said no one could get in.
They didn’t expect a fox with a tail for trouble.
One input field at a time… the web unraveled for me.”
— Fluffy the Fox
Can you follow Fluffy’s pawprints and conquer the web’s sneakiest secrets? Or will the Web Module trap you in its threads?
Enter, if you dare...
Challenges
🪤 Sticky Tar Pit
“Just upload your files—we'll take care of the rest!”
Welcome to FluffDrive™, your cozy little cloud storage friend. ☁️💼
Designed to make your life easier, we do all the heavy lifting for you! Our server automatically extracts archives upon upload, so you can view your files right away—no more fussing with command lines or decompressing tools.
Whether it's:
.zip.tar.tgz / .tar.gz.tbz2 / .tar.bz2
...we’ll unwrap it for you, instantly and automatically. 📂✨
But lately, a few users have noticed something strange:
Some files seem to disappear after upload. Or rather… they end up in very unexpected places.
One user reported:
“I uploaded my archive, but I don’t remember including a file called flag. Is it weird that I’m seeing strange files in my drive?”
Our engineers insist everything is working exactly as designed.
But hey—maybe there’s something clever happening behind the scenes?
💧 Slippery Tar Pit
“They patched the pit... but something still slithers in the shadows.” - Fluffy 🦊
After the mysterious incident back at the tar pit, the engineers proudly stamped out the sticky tar bug; archives now unpack cleanly, and no files vanish..., or so they claim.
Yet Fluffy’s ears picked up a curious whisper in the server logs:
- A mysterious vulnerability lurking where none should exist.
- A core binary behaving just a bit... differently
Fluffy’s instincts tell him this isn’t random. There’s a subtle flaw waiting to be uncovered by the right archive.
“Follow the tails... but beware the slip you never see coming.”
Will you uncover the secret path that still eludes every patch?
💦 Leaky Tar Pit
“They thought dropping privileges would staunch the flow... but something is seeping through the cracks.” - Fluffy 🦊
After another tar pit fiasco, the engineers discovered the root cause: the extraction service was running with elevated rights.
In a hurry, they rolled back to the last known good version and dropped all extra privileges.
“No root, no problem”
— The Engineers
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to leak the flag without elevated permissions. 🕵️
As always, should you or any of your hackers be caught or reverse shell'd, Fluffy will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
Good luck, hacker
