Natas Level 2 → Level 3

• Here are the login details.

Username: natas3
URL:      http://natas3.natas.labs.overthewire.org

• After logging in we can see this page.

• This time I try to find the clue in the inspection but there is nothing so I check the page view source and there is this line I find. Not even Google will find it this time…

Here is a clear hint so I try robots.txt that keeps a web page out of Google.

What is robots.txt?

A robots.txt file tells search engine crawlers which URLs the crawler can access on your site. This is used mainly to avoid overloading your site with requests; it is not a mechanism for keeping a web page out of Google. To keep a web page out of Google, block indexing with noindex or password-protect the page.

• Here is s3cr3t that is disallowed so try to search in url.

http://natas3.natas.labs.overthewire.org/s3cr3t/

• Here we got an index of s3cr3t so click on the parent directory to see what it has. if there is nothing check users.txt.

• Here we get the password of natas4 level.
