• to connect we use [[netcat]], nc jupiter.challenges.picoctf.org 14291

• running it prints a ton of text

• so lets store it in a file and save the text so we can search through it separately

• nc jupiter.challenges.picoctf.org 14291 > tmp.txt

  • connect and store output into tmp.txt

• now we can use [[grep]] to search for the flag

• cat tmp.txt| grep pico

• yay
