Description

The password is in a file named - in the home directory. Reading it with cat - does not work because - is interpreted as stdin.

Overview

• When a filename starts with -, most utilities interpret it as a flag argument.
• Using a redirect < - or providing the path as ./- forces the shell to treat it as a filename.

Solution

• Use input redirection to pass the file named - to cat.

channel = connect.system("cat < -")
result = channel.recv().decode().strip()
