Bandit02 -> 03: Look at the spaces

Challenge

Level Description

Start with the clue that said, the password for the next level is stored in file called --spaces in this filename-- and its located in home directory. I think this level quite same like the previous, there is a file with dash name and there is a space between it.

The Process

The first thing I did is check the home directory with command:

$ ls

And then I found the file named --spaces in this filename--. Just like Level 02, I use command cat with some input redirection < and apostrophe () to manipulate the spacing:

$ cat < '--spaces in this filename--'

Yup, There it is, password for the next level.

Password for the Next Level
