I'm a football fan, and my favourite club is set to announce a signing today. Is there any way I can hack into the website to find hidden pages that aren't yet public, or maybe hack into the images file to find images that haven't been uploaded yet? I have tried looking at the sitemap.xml, and using inspect element to look around at the code to see anything that might suggest a big announcement but nothing too interesting there. Is this something I can do?
Can I hack a website to find unreleased or hidden pages on the site? |

Likely the club has a CMS, and you will need a login to see drafts of posts before they are published. They're probably published at a scheduled time. Abusing a vulnerability is also a possibility, particularly with WordPress. Better yet, crack an email account. |
