The first seven levels are easy. They all have to do with viewing the source. 8 is the first one to give me any trouble at all. Here's spoilers (in white text) for all of them that I've done so far:


Level 1
URL: http://www.hackerskills.com/
Method: View Source to get password.
Solution: "null"

Level 2
URL: http://www.hackerskills.com/null.htm
Method: View Source again.
Solution: "l3l"

Level 3
URL: http://www.hackerskills.com/l3l.htm
Method: View source again... the password is equal to the color of "alink".
Solution: "#000000"

Level 4
URL: http://www.hackerskills.com/abrae.htm
Method: Umm... am I missing something?
Solution: Click the link.

Level 5
URL: http://www.hackerskills.com/sdrawkcab.htm
Method: View source... You know... I'm sensing a theme here...
Solution: "SAvE-as hELpS a lOt"

Level 6
URL: http://www.hackerskills.com/save_as.htm
Method: View javascript file: "pwd.js". Finally something other than "View Source!"
Solution: "hackerskills123"

Level 7
URL: http://www.hackerskills.com/included.htm
Method: View /images/included.gif
Solution: u:"phat" / p: "jerkybar3"


Level 8
URL: http://www.hackerskills.com/pwd2.php
Method: View phat.php to get the background image, /images/phat.gif. View that and it tells you to look for a .PSD. Open phat.psd (use the GIMP if you don't have Photoshop). Remove watermarks. This is utterly retarded.
Solution: u: "zadmin" / p: "stebbins"

Level 9
URL: http://www.hackerskills.com/phat.htm
Method: View source to get a weird looking string. It's Base 64 encoded, so use a PHP page to run in through base64_decode().
