You should be able to retrieve the pages with something like this, where you stick a
url encoded version of your password on the end:
Code: Select all
http://www.hacker.org/coil/index.php?name=0xDEAD+BEEF&password=
to go to a specific level you would put this onto the end of the URL
and then when you want to submit for your last retrieved level you add
This should work fine until you get to levels with ridiculously long solutions in which case you will have to use POST instead of GET

I'm sorry, but I think your solver never reached level 62 since you've solved just until level 31. You can only display level n+1 if you have solved level n. You were probably solving the same level over and over.

bsguedes, anonymous users can solve as many levels as they want as long as they stay in a session, i.e., use the same cookie over and over again. My guess is that he didn't specify a valid cookie of logged-in session, therefore he was able to make a progress (go from one level to another), but the progress was not saved.

Yeah, I think you're right... I never tried to use a solver in a non-logged section (actually when I want to test a new solver I made, I use an username that I created only for tests... I never thought about trying to use automation in an anonymous session
)

Interesting, never knew there was an anonymous mode

Yep! There is anonymous mode!
I was using "user" instead of "name".
Thnx,
