Basic Mission 8

[TheMindRapist]

You need to find a command that would let you see files.

I have tried all of these in the input field:

ls
#echo var="ls"
#echo cmd="ls"
#exec in the same ways
with multiple variables of the ls

some questions answed may help.
1. is this the FIRST thing i do?
2. do i still need the ; ?
3.do i edit this with note pad?

You have to find a way to see all of the files, using a Unix command and SSI.
That should be enough for you to at least generate the "You're on the right track" message.

i have been atempting unix commands using ssi that is what i think the first step is but none of them work can you answer my 4 questions at the top of the page? mainly do i need to edit the page? and do i need to change the url in some way or edit it?

[i_fallenhero]

you do not need to edit the page... you just need to put the correct code into the name field (i dont think that was a spoiler but if it is im truly sorry)

You can do everything using just the input name box. Just think back to mission 7, and keep in mind the directory you are supposed to be looking in.

Also this:

Here is some basic explorer information: (Hope it doesn't spoil the test)

Go to your windows explorer, and NAVIGATE to a directory. Do not type the path.
Then go to the adress bar and add "/../" (without the quotes). If you did it by navigating, it should take you to a familiar looking directory.

EDIT: Got it! It's so easy...
HINT: All you need are:
1) this site http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/ssi.html
2) and this post http://www.hackthissite.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=78&p=2674#p2564
