## Write-up
We find the core-current.iso file in the zip file. And load it up in virtualbox.
If you try to immediately execute 'dmesg' you get an error:
>```
>tc@box:~$ dmesg
>dmesg: applet not found
>```
Tiny core linux uses tce to install software, to find where the dmesg package is located we can use tce-ab:
>```
>tce-ab
>P)rovides
>dmesg
>util-linux.tcz
>```
We can install this package like:
>```
>tce-load -iw util-linux
>```
The dmesg binary is now in /usr/local/bin/
The following command gets us the flag:
>```
>/usr/local/bin/dmesg | grep -i seccon
>```
The flag is:
>```
>SECCON{elf32-i386}
>```
