The first step of completing any challenge is to go through its presented problem statement, and you decided to open the README.txt, the first file you should always open of an unknown directory.
This challenge is based on 3 problems, presented as
.
├── README.md
├── solution.md
├── zeroth.c
├── first.txt
├── strings.txt
└── fourth.zip
# These above are the files in this folder.A challenge [zeroth.c, first.txt, strings.txt, fourth.zip] may unlock a clue to the next one.
But note that each challenge is otherwise independent.
Read through the files, using a proper text editor. Google those terms that you don't understand.
-
[BASIC] [zeroth.c] Just read (run) it. This needs to be completed at least partially (till installing WSL2/VirtualMachine) to move forward.
-
[NORMAL] [first.txt] Now go ahead, because your characters are about to be rotated \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
-
[HARD] [strings.txt] strings.txt, you'll find a file (strings.txt) at location A, find A. Find locations of all the strings present in the file strings.txt. One of the strings' file name will act as password for fourth.zip :)
-
[INSANE or is it?] [fourth.zip] Fourth.zip is locked. Once you find the password, On your linux terminal,
-
unzip it
-
Now find a string of the form
DevOps{...}in some file in this directory system you extracted.
-
You don't need to solve all the Questions.
If you're able to solve a challenge partly, do provide its steps, I will consider partial marking :)
Submit your answers through the file solution.md, and rename it as yourRollNumber_solution.md.
Do remember to enjoy. We'll release hints if majority needs arise!
