Hacking Series: Solve the CTF Challenge with Robots.txt 🔍

In this brief video, we tackle a CTF (Capture The Flag) challenge that involves deciphering the contents of the "robots.txt" file on a given website. We delve into the intricacies of the challenge, utilizing our knowledge of website structure and understanding of directory hierarchies and URL addresses.

As we access the root directory of the website and append "/robots.txt" to the URL, we uncover the contents of the file. Analyzing the "robots.txt" file, we encounter the directive "User-agent: *" followed by "Disallow: /70r3hnanldfspufdsoifnlds.html."

We interpret this directive as instructing web robots to refrain from accessing the specific page "/70r3hnanldfspufdsoifnlds.html" on the website. Armed with this knowledge, we successfully complete the challenge and proceed to the next stage.
