Adithya M S describes how to solve the Natas 0 level wargame, in which users have to find the password in order to move on to the next level.
Natas is a series of security challenges on the OverTheWire website, designed to teach the basics of web server security.
In this challenge, a comment in the HTML code discloses the password users need to enter to progress to the next level, highlighting a common careless practice among developers of leaving sensitive data in code.
In production scenarios, this type of oversight could lead to exposure of confidential information, such as API keys, which could potentially result in cyberattacks.
However, the solution (i.e. removing the comment) provides a simple way for developers to avoid this type of error in the future.
