Challenge Overview

Can you read files in the root file?

The system admin has provisioned an account for you on the main server:

ssh -p 54578 picoplayer@saturn.picoctf.net

Password: Sd9KYTm5kr

Can you login and read the root file?

Solution

ssh -p 54578 picoplayer@saturn.picoctf.net

Then enter Sd9KYTm5kr as the password. You can use control+shift+v to paste it into the feild.

cd ../..

cd cd challenge/

ls

I just did cat, and copied the flag with control-shift-c. Based on the tag on the challenge though it was probably meant to do this command:

vim metadata.json

Than you can copy the flag from there.

Flag: picoCTF{uS1ng_v1m_3di...f1a}
