Install files
- Description: You know phpBB ?
- Difficulty: Easy
🔎 Solution
Upon accessing the challenge's main webpage, nothing appeared on the screen.
However, inspecting the page's source code revealed a comment pointing to <!-- /web-serveur/ch6/phpbb -->
.
Navigating to that directory displayed the header of the Root Me website, though no significant content was present.

The challenge references phpBB, an open-source forum software written in PHP. It is one of the most widely used free forum platforms globally.
A quick search for common phpBB directory structures led to the discovery that the /install
directory often contains installation-related files.
This information was confirmed by documentation on the official phpBB website.
Following that lead, we navigated to /web-serveur/ch6/phpbb/install/
, where we found an index.php
file.

Examining its contents ultimately revealed the flag.
