recon_19 (find email)

View the exercise here: PentesterLab: Recon 19

OBJECTIVE

For this challenge, your goal is to look at the repository repo7 and find an email address that is not like the other one.

WHY?

Developers often commit with the wrong email address and that may leak some information about personal accounts or internal systems.

SOLUTION

Open the repo7 of hackycorp then click the green Code button then copy the link of the repo.

In the terminal, type git clone https://github.com/hackycorp/repo7.git to copy the repo on our machine.

ls
cat README.md

To view the log history:

git log README.md

We’ll see the flag in the email address of Hacky Dev.
