I love cat

Looking for information

Once we ssh in we try to see where we are and what we can see.

pwd
> /home/cat
ls
>bin flag.txt

less flag.txt
> -rbash: less: command not found

I got an error saying that the command was not found.

vi, vim we’re not available but i found that eval was usable.

From a previous exercise, i learn that eval allows us to output the content of file without really opening it.

eval $(< flag.txt)
-rbash: $'FLAG-0K14eDrm4t5g7KD54X8Dl3NNcZ956oCK\r****************************': command not found

Eval tries to run the command from the output of $(< flag.txt)

And when he tries to run the command and the command does not exist it will give an error with the content of the file.
