Mission 0x05

---

🔎 Solution

After SSH'ing in as mia, the next objective was to locate camila's password which, according to the mission, was left inside a folder named hereiam:

mia@venus:~$ cat mission.txt 
################
# MISSION 0x05 #
################

## EN ##
It seems that the user camila has left her password inside a folder called hereiam 

To search specifically for a directory named hereiam I used find with -type d (so the search only returns directories):

mia@venus:~$ find / -type d -name hereiam 2>/dev/null
/opt/hereiam

Listing the target directory revealed a hidden file:

mia@venus:~$ ls -la /opt/hereiam/
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr  5  2024 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Apr  5  2024 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   16 Apr  5  2024 .here

Reading that hidden file returned Camila's password:

mia@venus:~$ cat /opt/hereiam/.here

With the recovered credential I SSH'ed into Camila's account:

ssh camila@venus.hackmyvm.eu -p 5000

Inside camila's home I read the flag file:

camila@venus:~$ cat flagz.txt
