This challenge focuses on the sudo command, which allows users to run commands with the privileges of another user, typically root. You will start by logging in with the provided credentials and using the sudo -l command to list the permissible actions for the current user. The output will indicate that you can run /bin/bash as the user victim.

By executing sudo -u victim /bin/bash, you will switch to the victim user and be able to run commands as them. The objective is to access the key.txt file located in the victim user's home directory, demonstrating how privilege escalation can be achieved through sudo when configured incorrectly.
