Using the `-l` option with `ls` displays each item on a separate line, and the `-a` option shows all files, including hidden ones. - You will notice there is a file named `-`. - The `-` character usually indicates the start of a switch, so using `cat` directly will cause an error. - To read the contents of this file, specify the current directory with `./–`. - This command will display the password in the command line interface (CLI). ![[Level 1 – 2.png]]
