Basic Mission 7

[Monica]

PLEASE ASK SPECIFIC QUESTIONS!

DO NOT POST ANSWERS OR MAJOR SPOILERS! [IE: Mission Links, Mission File Names/Pages, etc]




Description: The password is hidden in an unknown file, and Sam has set up a script to display a calendar.

Requirements: Basic UNIX command knowledge.

** Hint: GOOGLE "Unix commands"

[Canadezo]

Okay, I'm lost where do I put the unix code? I'm trying to put it in the "View" for the calender. However, I can't find anything. Please gimme a hint, just where to use the unix code...

Think of the input box for the year as one line of code. The year is one piece of code. It's probably taken and put through a function to give the calendar. However, you want to execute another command. As you may have learned, you can't put just the command you want in the box--it only works if you put in a year. What you have to do is make both happen at once. How?

(if you're still stuck, read my first sentence again)

Would this involve FireBug? :S

[Defience]

Probably not....try to find some unix commands that you might be able to use.

i found a nice list of unix commands but anytime i enter the year with a command i get a blank page and when i enter just a command i get a blank page so how am i supposed to enter the commands

[Monica]

"How", you ask? The same way you entered the command in the first place.

Ask better questions. Perhaps you will get better answers.

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.

hi all,
am working on my unix command skills,just wanna know if we use any kind of javascript injection in this mission

This thread contains hints of using UNIX commands to complete the mission.
Javascript is not necessary.
