Solution to Hackthissite realistic mission 1

We all know that hackthissite.org is a very good source in learning and implementing basic "ethical" hacking skills. In this post i will be giving you the solution to the realistic mission 1.

Here what we have to do is to make a specific band go up to the top in ratings by getting into the website. When we see the ratings of all the bands we notice that it is basically some kind of averaging technique used from voting numbers 1-5 , but the first band has a rating of 23 something which hints a possible flaw in the method of averaging as normally the average should be between 1-5 .

Basically what we have to do is increase the rating of the desired band to go to the top. This can be done be simply changing the value of any vote in the last band section by using javascript injection or firebug(an addon for firefox) and then selecting that rating and pressing vote button. Insert a big value so that the simple average goes above 23 and you are done.
