[Bandit] Lv.4 -> Lv.5

Level Goal The password for the next level is stored in the only human-readable file in the inhere directory. 1. Since the target file was said to be in the inhere directory, I navigated into it using cd and then ran ls to check the list of files. 2. Looking at the file keyword under "Commands you may need to solve this level", files can be broadly categorized into two types: ASCII text, which includes plain text and source code that humans can read, and data, which includes binary files, images, and executables that are not human-readable. Using the file command to check each file revealed three types: ASCII text, Non-ISO extended-ASCII text, and data. data → Binary format, not human-readable Non-ISO extended-ASCII text → Contains special characters that may appear garbled ASCII text → Fully human-readable 3. The answer appeared to be in -file07, but I checked -file05 first just to verify - and as expected, the text was garbled. The answer was in -file07.
