Task 1Starting your first machine

On TryHackMe you'll learn by hacking machines

Tasks include machines that will put your knowledge into practice!

Answer the questions below

Start the machine by clicking the "Start Machine" button. This machine is Linux, an operating system that you'll learn more about later! Lets do a quick tutorial.

On your machine (right-hand side), lets list what files and folders there are. We can do this by typing "ls". What is the name of the folder you see?

Like you would open a folder on your Desktop, you can change directory (moving folders) by typing "cd <location>". Move into the folder you just found.

We can see a files content by typing "cat <filename>". List the files in the folder you are in, what is content of the hello.txt file?

When you've finished with the machine in any room, make sure to stop it by clicking the red "Terminate" button.
