Love it. Never really considered how to use the terminal if the tools in Linux suddenly disappeared.

[@movax20h]

To be pedantic, echo is not required to be a built-in into a shell (i.s. posix sh specification says absolutely nothing about echo). It can be just a binary in /bin/ (in fact there is one there just for this occasion).

John you make this look breezy as all heck! Always a treat to watch you work!

[@zackarycrider5191]

I understood a few of those words

[@My1xT]

Wait if echo works why not just echo the file?

[@huntit4578]

Please more shorts like this love it ❤

[@Jarvx]

I think they gave this particular challenge at the Bsides San Francisco CTF a week ago, pretty fun experience

[@mu11668B]

In some `sh` implementations, trying to execute `sh /path/to/script` will lead to all unavailable "commands" in that script reported in the terminal. Since `sh` is supposed to be available, `sh /home/ctf/flag.txt` might also work.

Where can I find these challenges?

[@RedBigz]

I completely didn't know the read command until yesterday, because I was trying to parallelize some cracking tools, and this gem pops up on my shorts. Awesome timing.

[@BubbleS1]

Very cool solution and challenge!

[@georgerobbins5560]

Good stuff, John.

[@Mirikant]

I don’t understand a thing that is happening but this all looks and sounds cool

[@KP-nc9gk]

Noob question. Does `cat <file>` works as well?
