Basic Mission 8

If you can correctly use the "ls" command, you're on the right track. If you've used it, you may notice that you get many strangely named files. This is because you are not in the parent directory. Find out how to see the parent directory. Hint: The only UNIX command you need is "ls." You do not need to change directories at all.

Hi,
I've found this site: http://www.computerhope.com/unix/uls.htm
but I don't know if anything on that site can help you (and me..)

This will help here.

Ok, lost!!

I can get the listing of the files... I try just about every SSI command I know.. even re-read the hint of "Where you are and where the pass is" since the location is given, but the commands to get there won't allow me to do it. I am just not getting this... every other command I use gives me the "Please change your code for this level" type error... What am I missing?

can you help me im at same juncture getting the list of some stange file names................
thanx

I dare say I am confused. I got to the directory without a problem, but anywhere past that is beyond my ability. I did attpt, or consider, stringin an ls and cd commands together, but it seems to be impossible withssi. I wish so many commands werent blocked, that way i could at least see the cause and effect of what im doing.

I used many of the "ls -a, ls -l, etc... commands, but everything is blocked. It seems odd though, seeing as to display the directories would be to give me access to them. Maybe i'm typing something wrong?

Wth. I enter ls command with ;ls and :ls and ls and nothing works I also tried using -a!

Guys I've been working on this one for a few minutes and I am having trouble with my "command injection". When I attempt to execute a command I get the following message:
If you are trying to use * * * to solve the challenge, you are on the right track: but I have limited the commands allowed to ones relevant towards finding the password file for security reasons(because there will always be that one person who decides to execute some rather nasty commands). So please manipulate your code so that it is a little more pertaining to the level.

I've been trying to use just ls. Any ideas?
