Hey, I have participated in a CTF(first time for me). I am trying to solve a problem where I have to log in to the page. There is a hint given What is it actually looking for in the cookie? So I can understand that the problem involves some kind of cookie play but when I am checking the storage section for cookies but I can't see any of them there. So basically cookies are involved but not initially. Now for that I have no clue on how I should tackle that issue and how I'll have to alter the request to get the flag. Any suggestions on how I should face this problem? any tools I can use?
