Challenge Description:

Some more intel has been recovered and it hints at new program developments the cyber bots system is running, the code is supposedly used to encrypt secrets.

Solution:

Using the previous flag to log into this user, we can see that there is a new file, .viminfo in the home directory that was not in the previous home folders.

Opening it up, we can see that there are "illegal starting characters", mostly pertaining to the file at /usr/local/share/secret. Reading that file, we can find the next flag.

Flag:

CDDC21{V1m_th3_s4vior}
