You will need a way for your program to get the page. C++ could have some libs to help with cookie handling and what-nots, or you could use sockets. Sockets being the best way to go (my opinion). This might help you get started.

That's an odd set of choices...

I am in no way a C++ coder, and have only used it on occasion for embedded things. But I would assume there are third party libs to help with this kinda stuff, like cURL or something.

There are, I'm just saying that what you said made it sound like the choice is between something that helps him manage temporary information stored on his own computer or something that would actually allow him to communicate with the website and allow him to solve it. Just seems sort of... disparate.

the basics of all the timed challenges is this:
-visit HBH.
-log into your user account.
-visit the timed challenge page, and grab required information.
-process what is given to you.
-submit required information, in the way the challenge tells you to (GET/POST).
-Rip out hair and repeat if it doesn't work.
I used java for all the timed ones I have done. I found it very easy tbh.
I reccomend you do some basic interaction with websites before you try these challenges. Simple GET/POST requests, etc.
will help you a lot.

If you really want to try doing it in c++, be prepared to do some reading. Unless you know of a good library to provide the functions necessary for decoding, be prepared to write your own decoder(this was what I did, so I don't know of any libraries off the top of my head you could use). After that, you have to worry about all the http stuff like reading the page, and for that I recommend cURL, but that's just my personal preference.
Also, whatever you do, don't copy and paste any code off of the web without reading up on it and understanding it fully. You'll never learn anything like that, and, afterall, the point of every challenge on this site is to learn from it.
