Problem: ‘…reading transmission… Y.O.U. .C.A.N.’.T. .S.E.E. .M.E. …transmission ended…’ Maybe something lies in /problems/you-can-t-see-me_4_8bd1412e56df49a3c3757ebeb7ead77f.
Solution:
Using the shell server cd /problems/you-can-t-see-me_4_8bd1412e56df49a3c3757ebeb7ead77f
Use ls -la
to see all the files.
Returns:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 25 2019 .
-rw-rw-r-- 1 hacksports hacksports 57 Mar 25 2019 .
drwxr-x--x 556 root root 53248 Mar 25 2019 ..
We want to see .
but it also the name of the directory and cat doesnt like that. So pass it by using cat .*
Return:
cat: .: Is a directory
picoCTF{j0hn_c3na_paparapaaaaaaa_paparapaaaaaa_22f627d9}
cat: ..: Permission denied
