JSON Authentication Help - Z0RR0 - Apr 10, 2016
Hi!
I need help with authentication of json requests a site makes.
The site is zpdlfu.in/institutes/search.json?name=
Where zpdlfu is a caesar cipher with 1 as the key (do (c-1)mod26 for the site).
The problem is that it is not accepting my username password for the site, which can be created for free. I am not sure how the browser makes requests to the URL and gets authenticated. Since it is on client side there should be some hardcoded code that authenticates it. Can someone help me find it?
