Krusty Krab Order Boards
Mr. Krabs finally put the Krusty Krab order boards online, and SpongeBob finally admitted what he really wants: the Krabby Patty secret formula. It is filed at `/verysecretrecipe`, and the fry cook account you can sign up for is not getting in there. Mr. Krabs is, though. He reads every link dropped in the complaint box himself, from his own logged-in browser. Get the formula out of the manager's session.
Rising Star
The challenge is fully solvable black-box. Source code is included only for convenience.
