PassWORLDE

Description

Have fun playing passWORDLE! Can you guess the passWORDLE for 10.10.2022?

Steps

By observing the files attached to the challenge we find an html page that asks for an input which is hashed and compared against a chosen random password

let attempt = 0;
window.onload = async function () {
	let answer = await hash(randomPassword());
	let input = document.getElementById('input');
	let judge = document.getElementById('judge');
	judge.addEventListener('click', (() => {
	judgeEvent(answer, attempt++);
	}));
	input.addEventListener('keydown', (ev => {
		if (ev.code === 'Enter') {
			judgeEvent(answer, attempt++);
		}
	}));
	let output = document.getElementById('output');
	for (let i = 0; i < MAX_ATTEMPT; ++i) {
		let length = 64;
		let dummy = '_'.repeat(length);
		let empty = Array.from({ length }, (() => EMPTY));
		output.innerHTML += (
			`<div id="attempt-${i}">${colorize(dummy, empty)}</div>`
		);
	}
	input.focus();
}

Upon further inspection of the randomPassword function, we can see that the password is not really random but it is calculated based on the current date

function randomPassword() {
    const offsetFromDate = new Date(2022, 0, 1);
    const msOffset = Date.now() - offsetFromDate;
    const dayOffset = msOffset / 1000 / 60 / 60 / 24;
    const res = targetWords[Math.floor(dayOffset)];
    return res;
}

We also got a hint about the date 10-10-2022 so we just need to edit the date offset from Date.now() to the 10th of October 2022 and call the randomPassword function in the console

function randomPassword() {
    const offsetFromDate = new Date(2022, 0, 1);
    const msOffset = new Date(2022, 9, 10) - offsetFromDate;
    const dayOffset = msOffset / 1000 / 60 / 60 / 24;
    const res = targetWords[Math.floor(dayOffset)];
    return res;
}

now we just need to encapsulate the string in the flag format and submit
