i figured it out

Okay, finally figured it out - you just need to know how nix commands really work.
So, reached lvl 10 in less than one day ^^ .

Oh, I get it.

The intro text for this mission is very misleading... the solution has nothing to do with breaking the validation. Just have to find the right command.

VERY TRICKY LEVEL=)), I just can tell that =))

[GENiUSr]

this 1 was far easy than the 8th because this time we knew that what we actually have to do
8th level took almost a day of mine but this one only took 15-20 mins

/var/www/hackthissite.org/html/missions/basic/9/ is the location that the file is stored in.

we executed the "list" command on a directory ABOVE basic 8 in that challenge, so we were somewhere at:
/var/www/hackthissite.org/html/missions/basic/8/tmp/
then we went here,
/var/www/hackthissite.org/html/missions/basic/8/

our password file we are looking for is in this directory:
/var/www/hackthissite.org/html/missions/basic/9/

this is the parent directory to the directory we are in. in other words, /basic/9/ is one directory above our current directory

we do not need to transverse directories, however. in fact, we just need to see what is inside this directory.

so, just like we used the "list" command and the "change directory" command and combined them, we need to use the "list" command and specify a path to list.

I had it 5 minutes in but I failed to put a space somewhere in the code so it was being blocked... When i figured out i had it all along...
