Unix 02

This challenge is part of the Unix Badge series and revolves around accessing a file named key.txt located in the home directory of the user "victim." While you can navigate to the directory, you won't be able to list its contents using the ls command due to restricted permissions. However, you can still read the file using the cat command. This exercise highlights the distinction between directory listing permissions and file access permissions, a crucial concept in Unix-based systems.

Understanding this difference is essential for both assessing and securing systems, as it demonstrates that even if a directory's contents cannot be listed, files within it can still be accessed if their names are known. This underscores the importance of carefully setting permissions to protect sensitive information effectively.
