The password for the next level is located in a file called -
located in the home directory.
Due to the fact that the filename is -
, the cat
command interprets this as an argument, and doesn't do what we expect. To mitigate this, we have to specify that it is a file in this directory by prepending ./
to the filename.
cat ./-
This works, opening the file successfully, revealing the password: rRGizSaX8Mk1RTb1CNQoXTcYZWU6lgzi
