    source code - hack site

    hey at this site http://www.arcanum.co.nz/ i'm at the unknown challenge right now and its find the password for it. I see the source code for the page and sais i should be there and i see the directory for where the password is. Its /etc/passwd. Now how do i see/get that directory? I dont have telnet at my disposal right now, i have to wait till i get home, i knew/think thats the way to do it but is there another way?

    I thought the most important rule of a wargame like Arcanum is that you don't ask for help?

    But yes, you'd have to use some sort of connection (telnet, ssh, rsh) to the computer to get to the /etc/passwd directory.

    Good luck,

    I know you\'re out there. I can feel you now. I know that you\'re afraid. You\'re afraid of us. You\'re afraid of change. I don\'t know the future. I didn\'t come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it\'s going to begin. I\'m going to hang up this phone, and then I\'m going to show these people what you don\'t want them to see. I\'m going to show them a world without you, a world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you.
