First Grep

  • Description: Can you find the flag in file? This would be really tedious to look through manually, something tells me there is a better way.
  • Difficulty: Easy

🔎 Solution​

This challenge introduces the basics of the grep command - a powerful tool used to search for specific strings or patterns within files on Unix-based systems.
You're given a text file, and your task is to search through it for a line containing the keyword picoCTF. If done correctly, the output will reveal the flag.

┌──(kali㉿kali)-[~/Desktop]
└─$ cat file | grep "picoCTF"
picoCTF{grep_is_good_to_find_things_5af9d829}

🚩Flag​

picoCTF{grep_is_good_to_find_things_5af9d829}
