I am also stuck on that level could you please also guide me in the right direction? I have literally been staring for hours, what am I meant to do with orion?

Ever heard of user agents?

I really hope essentials teaches us more about python cus I have learnt **** all compared to making xml files etc in moon base 5 and 6


I'm bloody relying on it. The field manual and the moon base python introduction tasks are too limited; they don't teach you nearly enough.

You have to use a plug-in that lets you set the user agent :smile:

The user-agent switcher doesn't have a browser setting for orion... Is there a method to setting it up for orion?

Go on the chrome web store and search "user agent switcher". Find one that lets you set your own user agent string. No more hints :smile:

Thank you so much! LOL I tried looking up the browser on github etc.. and I WAS using the one where you could edit it! I just realised I'm very stupid... I only needed to say the browser name and not all the fancy jargon! Thanks :smile:

Anyone got HQ7-3 yet?

Anyone got HQ7-3 yet?

Not yet, but I have noticed that GET Requests in the URL do not reset when the page tries to reload. (I have tried adding "?hidden=false" and other random headers to the end of the URL.) This may be something to do with the answer or maybe not, still haven't found it yet..

How did you find the key for 6-9? It is a vigenere cipher right?

It is a directory. If your talking about after the directory cat should work.

How did you manage to do C6 L9?

Thanks but i can't work out how to open the directory cd doesnt seem to work

C6 L9 uses an atbash cipher if that helps

make sure to include the '.' before the name...

Also how did you figure out it was atbash?
