Level Goal The password for the next level is stored in a file somewhere under the inhere directory and has all of the following properties:
human-readable 1033 bytes in size not executable Commands you may need to solve this level ls , cd , cat , file , du , find
#
Find a file that is:
- Exactly 1033 bytes (≈ 1.0K in human‑readable output)
- Not executable
- A regular file
Commands:
1
find /path/to/folder -type f -size 1033c ! -perm /111
