Frequently Asked Questions
About HBH 
What is HBH?
HBH stands for HellBound Hackers. HBS stands for HellBound Security. Both domains are exactly the same website.
We are a completely legal, web-based security training ground. We offer challenges that teach you how computer based exploits work. The idea being, if you know how to exploit a website for instance, then you can go and secure your website, and help others in securing theres. If you know how malicious hackers get in, you can keep them out.
HBH also supplies a vast library of downloads, articles, and helpful forum posts for you to learn as much as possible.
HBH is very pro self-teaching. We only act as a guide. We'll show you the bits of information you need to learn, and its your job to go and read about it. Self teaching is by far one of the most effective ways to learn.
If you do need help and hints on what to learn, your more than welcome to contact any member in the community and they will be happy to point you in the right direction.

Challenges
The challenge asks me for a password, how do I get it?
That is the whole point. The whole objective of the challenge is to "hack" the challenge and find the correct password.
There are many ways to complete challenges, each with its own method. Such as exploiting a item of the challenge, solving a code sequence, or just by viewing the source.
When you complete a challenge you will be awarded points that are added to your profile.

I'm stuck on a challenge, what do I do?
There are many things you can do:
1. Check articles. There are many useful hints and clues in several articles that should give you the edge you need.
2. Ask for help in the FORUMS. There are many people there who have completed the challenge and will gladly help you. However be careful not to post too much information and ruin the challenge for everyone else. Also, DO NOT ask for help in the "Shoutbox". That is for off-topic discussion only!
3. Private message a member on the website who has already completed it, and they should be happy to point you in the right direction.

Tracking 2 wont accept my answer.
Tracking 2 uses scripts to collect a active IP from a large proxy list.
This means the IP for the challenge could possibly change daily.
If your answer isn't accepted, its quite possible your either:
1) Your entering details that have expired.
2) The IP comes from a country that can have various spellings. (i.e UK / United Kingdom / England)
If this happens and your positive you've entered the correct details, please try the challenge again the next day.
|
A challenge isn't accepting my answer, is the challenge broken?
No the challenge isn't broken, you are just entering the wrong details. This is true for 99% of cases.
If you do truly feel a challenge is broken, submit a bug report and one of the admins will investigate.

"No off-site posts please"
If you are getting this error message, it means you have something blocking your referer.
A referer is a small section of data that your browser sends the website on each page it views. It contains the last page you visited. HBH tracks this referer and checks it with any submitted data on the website.
If the submitted data comes from outside HBH then it isn't allowed.
To fix this issue, check you don't have any referer blockers in place, and you have configured your firewall properly.
