Level Goal
The password for the next level is stored in the file data.txt in one of the few human-readable strings, beginning with several ‘=’ characters.
This one seems pretty simple as well, it’s basically exactly what we did before with the “millionth” word.
Unlike the previous challenge, if we just try to grep the file, we don’t get any useful results. Catting the file gives a bunch of gibberish.
We are going to use: strings, and grep
strings will show only human readable characters and grep will search through the output for several “=” characters
It looks like there are a couple different possible answers.
Judging by all the previous passwords, however, the last one seems to be the most likely.
