## Description
I keep accidentally mistyping the ls command!
## Solution
I kind of freaked out when I got the solution, as I didn't expect the solution to be this simple.
The challenge provides an ssh server to log into. Logging into the server shows this
```txt
# password is userpass
ssh -p 31862 [email protected]
```

A train moving across the screen. I tried typing stuff for a long time, nothing happens. I even managed to stop the train, still nothing.
Then suddenly, I happened to try something:
```bash
$ echo "ls" | ssh -p 31862 [email protected]
Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.
[email protected]'s password:
flag.txt
```
WHAT?!?!??! THIS ACTUALLY WORKED???? \*confused happiness\*
After a mini-celebration, I tried this:
```bash
$ echo "cat flag.txt" | ssh -p 31862 [email protected]
Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.
[email protected]'s password:
flag{4f9b10a81141c7a07a494c28bd91d05b}
```
I'm speechless \*mind blown\*
PS: The correct way to send in the command is `ssh -p 31862 [email protected] <command>` but I didn't know this at the time. Now I know and you do too!
Flag: `flag{4f9b10a81141c7a07a494c28bd91d05b}`
