The password for the next level is stored in the only human-readable file in the inhere directory. Tip: if your terminal is messed up, try the “reset” command.
As you can see in the img1, we have 10 files in the directory.
There's only one file that's our flag, you can brute-forcing and cat all the files out one by one.
But learning to get the job done smarter is not a bad attempt right ?
We'll be using the file command.
This command is mostly used to identify the types of any specific files.
In this case, we have our files named '-file..'
There's a trick of using wildcard '*' in our command to let them match the files with our condition.
Like in this case, we can use:
The './' before a file name is used to directly refers to the files.
And the '*' after the '-file' tells the command to identify all of the files those names started with "-file".

As you can see in the img2, there's only one file which contains ASCII text. That's probably our flag.
