Task
- the goal of this games is to read the password from a particular file
-
Theory
- the
-is a special shortcut that means : treat the terminal content as the file for example:
cat -
after this command you’d have to type something into the screen , when you type enter it will print what you’ve printed
- so if you find it as a file name it can confuse the programs.
Solution
- to read a file that was named
-you have to pass it as a path not just the name , so the answer will be :
cat ./-
