"Nara": No ls on this system

Scenario: "Nara": No ls on this system

Level: Easy

Type: Do

Tags: linux-other   bash  

Access: Email

Description: Common directory-listing tools on this host are missing or refuse to run. A document named shosoin.tag was misplaced somewhere under /home/admin/records.

Write its full absolute path (one line) to /home/admin/solution.txt, for example: echo "/home/admin/records/some/dir/shosoin.tag" > /home/admin/solution.txt

NOTE: There are at least 9 different ways to find the solution in this server (shown in the clues).

Root (sudo) Access: True

Test: md5sum /home/admin/solution.txt returns 8d3b739ebccb41c7c39e608d7a3e0bd6 (the solution without the trailing newline is also accepted).

The "Check My Solution" button runs the script /home/admin/agent/check.sh, which you can see and execute.

Time to Solve: 20 minutes.
