Hi, I have just run through the second lab to check to check it is working as expected and was able to solve it using the solution provided. For the second lab - the password is not supplied in the logs and the solution does not mention this. As noted in the solution, you receive a valid token which you then need to use in conjunction with the password reset link supplied in the email client. This allows you to reset Carlos' user account password to something that you know and are then able to log in as him.

Hello, in the first lab : basic password reset poisoning, carlos's request is not coming to the exploit server log even though I sent the modified HTTP request (with modified host header and to carlos (at same domain as wiener)). What would you advise?

Can you take a break and attempt to follow the steps in the solution again? I have just managed to complete it successfully without any issues. Have you considered looking at a tutorial on YouTube?
