Basic Mission 7

[biro3773]

ok, right, i have no knowledge of UNIX at all, so everything you guys said went way over my head. can i get an explanation, or a dumbed-down hint (besides 'learn UNIX')?

[Monica]

Ok then. Here's a better hint:

Google UNIX commands.

i figured it out finally.It's easy and here's a hint.U have to find command for listing files and u have to learn to use commands at the same line.Don't forget the url.I hope it isn't too much of a hint.

I understand the above, but I cant figure the lvl out. is it possible to give a (extra) hint? of any sort..

the right command I got I suppose, I tried tempering in html including the url. I scoured google for answers and possibilities, but none working came up.

So if possible a constructive hint would be much appreciated.

ok question, this may sound dumb but i am new to this. I run windows, to execute unix based code wouldnt i need to be running a linux based system, i have virtualizations on one machine and a partition with ubuntu on the other, but can i do this using just windows? and if the earlier replies are right and we dont need firebug or javascript injection wouldnt we have to use linux/unix based machines to even read any of the code? please help

ok scratch that, figured it out. ok heres a hint for those and i hope its not to big. believe it or not really the page is right it says "in unrelated news they set up a calendar..dont look to much into the calendar. for good help, the game hacker evolution. it sounds dumb but you can learn the command(s) you need from that game. download the trial game and you will know. hope this wasnt to big of a hint.

perl scripting is way outta my league.. I cant imagine that I need perl scripting. I tried executing unix commands with perl scripts but that doesnt seem to be working either....

I just cant seem to list the files... Aahhrgg frustrating. it gives me a blanc page every time. (I CAN play around with the outcome of dates etc.)

I have the feeling I am missing something simple, but I am about to give up on this one

how can i execute that unix command in the input box?

should i include a protocol as i use javascript: on the address bar or some other thing?

i dont have any experience On Unix

The mission tells you to enter the year into the text box and it will display the output of the unix command 'cal' based on the year you enter.

If you don't have any experience with unix check out basic unix commands. This will be all you need to complete the mission.

i have get the command to list the files (should i write it here?)

but now i want to know how can i attach it to the input ?

when i type the command as input it displays a blank page
