Irish Name Repo 2 [350 pts]

 Challenge Description

Challenge Description:

There is a website running at https://jupiter.challenges.picoctf.org/problem/53751/ (link). Someone has bypassed the login before, and now it’s being strengthened. Try to see if you can still login! or http://jupiter.challenges.picoctf.org:53751


Using the same input as in Irish-Name-Repo 1 returns the following: “SQLi detected.” So it seems like we can’t include any SQL in our parameters.
Instead, however, maybe we can exploit SQL comments!

The SQL for this challenge is likely similar, i.e.

SELECT * FROM admin_table WHERE username = '[username]' AND password = '[password]'

(Note that this can actually be confirmed by setting the debug parameter to 1 using a tool such as Burp Suite or simply Terminal)

Hence, in the username input, we can input admin'--, which will change the SQL to this:

SELECT * FROM admin_table WHERE username = 'admin''-- AND password = '' 

The -- is an SQL comment, and comments out the rest of the SQL such that it never checks if the password is correct. Enter the input in, and get your flag!
