## Solution
We start by looking at the cookies with CookieMonster extension. In the cookie `tallahassee` there is a URL encoded, base64 encoded text:
cat index.txt
We first tried editing this cookie to `cat flag` or `cat flag.txt`. After refreshing the page, we checked the cookie and found:
cat index.txt #cat flag
So our command is probably being commented in a Shell Script way. After a lot of thinking and some friends helping, we found the solution with multi line commands:
\
cat flag
After refreshing:
cat index #\
cat flag
The flag shows up in the page:

Again, don't!
