Bandit Level 3 → Level 4

If we list the content of the home directory:

ls

It is a directory due to its color (In Kali Linux directory color is blue by default), we can change our directory with the cd (Change Directory) command:

cd <Directory>

We are in that directory, but if we list the content of that directory:

ls

We will see there is nothing, but in Linux generally, if we created a file with a (.) at the beginning of that file, it will be hidden by default.

We can show the ls command help menu with --help option, or using the man ls to view the manual page of the ls command:

ls --help

So we can use the -a option with the ls command to show files that starts with ., but also we will use the -l option to list it in more readable format:

ls -la

We found that file, lets read it:

cat <filename>
