Basic Mission 7

[fauxpas09]

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.

This helped me.

This is a very logical mission. Here is some hints. I just solved it.

DO not overthink this.
2 Commands on the same line is a must
make a flow chart of the events if it helps
Make sure to explore the problem THOROUGHLY!
(command 1 (insert dual comand symbol here) command 2)

Good luck to all.

I hope this isn't a spoiler (first time actually posting) but I found the URL to be particularly helpful.

I have a question, and i hope you can help me with it.
I've already solved it, so please tell me if the question is a spoiler.

So, when you finally find the file, why can't we use a "cat " command to view it?

Thanks a lot.

Good question. If this were real life, then you'd probably be able to. But anything other than the actual answer has been stripped from the mission for security reasons.

hi,

I am really confused now. I am able to list the directory content and found one file whose name is supposed to be the password. However, when I tried the value, the system always told me that the password is incorrect. I have even enter the full file name, just for testing, still no luck.

Is there something I am missing? This is the only basic mission I failed to complete.....

Thanks.....

You should be reading the statement again,

"This time Network Security sam has saved the unencrypted level7 password in an obscurely named file saved in this very directory."

The password is stored in the file. You should open the file stored on the web directory in order to know the password.

Hi, thanks for the answer. I have also tried that. I am using cat to show the file content. However, the files are all empty, except for the cal.pl. I cannot use cat command to show the file content?

Well, I have read all of the responses and I SHOULD be getting it, but I'm not. I have tried everything. I have done firebug. I have typed commands in the box (i looked up unix commands and studied them) and tried sepparating and putting them together in a single like. I have tried going into the source. But no dice. I have tried all types of commands. Well thanks for the help in advance.
