🎯 Mission 002: The Whispering Files

Unit 101 – Terminal Tigers 🐯 | Rank: Shadow Recruit

ShadowNet Agency: Mission 002


πŸ•΅οΈ Mission Brief

CODE RED: A rogue ShadowNet agent has planted a hidden file somewhere in our system. Intel suggests it contains a stolen passwordβ€”the kind of data that could compromise our entire network!

This file is invisible to ordinary eyes, but not to trained recruits like you.

Your mission is to:

  1. Locate the hidden file.
  2. Reveal its contents.
  3. Decode the stolen data.
  4. Report back with the stolen password β€” this is your flag to prove mission success.

🧭 Intel from HQ

We have tracked unusual activity to a directory on our system β€” it is not in your home directory. The rogue agent has stashed the file where most wouldn’t look.

Here’s what we know:

  • The file is hidden.
  • It’s likely inside a suspiciously named directory.
  • The contents are probably scrambled somehow to prevent easy reading.

The following Training Card may assist you in the field:


πŸ“ Mission Objective

Locate the hidden file placed by the rogue agent.
Read its contents.
Decode the stolen password.
The decoded password is your flag. Deliver it to your SNA trainer to complete the mission.


🐯 Only those who hear the whispers of the filesystem can uncover the truth. Trust your training, Shadow Recruit.
