In this challenge the password is stored in the only human readable file in the inhere
directory.
Entering the directory we are greeted with 10 files named -file0<number>
. To find this we can use the file
command which will return the filetype.
file ./-file0<number>
To make this faster, we can use the wildcard character ?
, which the shell interprets as "any single chacracter". This allows us to check all of our files in one command.
file ./-file0*
That command returns this:
As we can see there is one file that is made up of ASCII text.
Opening this file reveals the password: lrIWWI6bB37kxfiCQZqUdOIYfr6eEeqR
