Being asked to hack on an interview?
Napsal: sob 30. pro 2017 12:53:02Hi,
I’ve never even considered learning to hack as a career move. Maybe it’s good to understand it a little at least for understanding security better.
So, I’m struggling with the challenge. I set up some MITM software and I’ve figured out a few API endpoints. I just can’t figure out how to keep myself logged in while I call other endpoints. It’s easy to do if I’m building this – I just don’t know how to figure out how to do it if I’m hacking into something.
It’s too bad – the rest of the challenge seems like it would be a snap – if I could just get past the hacking step. It seems like a good company too. And it seemed like a good fit, until now. Maybe it’s for the best.
What are people’s thoughts on this? Is it common to ask people to hack something in an interview? I guess this would be grey hat hacking? I could understand if they were asking me to hack their API, but some other company’s? Is this common? Is it ethical?
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
