Intro 1

When i saw the question, I knew the credentials would be in the source Code so yh, I viewed it and boom! I saw the Username and password + i have got the csrf-token.

Intro 2

From the sourcecode you can see the Username and password.

Intro 3

Not available.

https://defendtheweb.net/extras/playground/9d2K4Fw.json. This gave me the password and username.

Intro 5

As you can see, It’s in the sourcecode.

Intro 6

As stated in the instruction, I Need to login as ‘girldog’ but I don’t have the username in the drop down menu
So I edited the drop down menu and logged into system by the help of
Developer Tool.
