Follow the Redirect

Lab for The Request Journey & Where Attacks Live

Scenario

A web request rarely ends where it starts. Fetch the homepage's headers only, the server answers with a redirect (a 302 and a Location). Follow that Location to its destination.

Objective

Trace a request through its redirect to the page that holds the flag.
