First, connect via ***netcat***.

We got a shell, let's look around:

`/ $ ls`

=> We see the ***flag*** file.

`/ $ cat flag`

=> Not enough permissions.

Are there many other users?

`/ $ cat /etc/passwd`

=> Only ***root*** seems to be available. Let's try switching to it:

`/ $ su`

=>

`/ #`

=> See the ***#***? This worked! We got ***root***!

`/ # cat flag`

=> Here's the flag! The challenge is solved! :)
