Hey there - I’m Yori! I used to be Ed’s lost intern back in 2015… but don’t worry, I’ve been found!
I’m trying to access Santa’s mysterious gift tracker using cURL, but it’s got me completely stumped.
Can you check the terminal and see what you can do to get it working?
This task is guided by the system. Therefore, I will only show the commands and most important console outputs here:
======= Neighborhood Santa-Tracking Service =======
Oh no! Mischievous gnomes have tampered with the neighborhood's Santa-tracking service,
built by the local tinkerer to help everyone know when Santa arrives on Christmas Eve!
The tracking application was originally configured to run on port 8080, but after the
gnomes' meddling, it's nowhere to be found. Without this tracker, nobody in the neighborhood
will know when to expect Santa's arrival!
The tinkerer needs your help to find out which port the santa_tracker process is
currently using so the neighborhood tracking display can be updated before Christmas Eve!
Your task:
1. Use the 'ss' tool to identify which port the santa_tracker process is
listening on
2. Connect to that port to verify the service is running
Hint: The ss command can show you all listening TCP ports and the processes
using them. Try: ss -tlnp
Good luck, and thank you for helping save the neighborhood's Christmas spirit!
