There is a file where we need to find the word 'millionth,' but the content is too long to search line by line.

 

 

bandit7@bandit:~$ cat data.txt | grep millionth
millionth       dfwvzFQi4mU0wfNbFOe9RoWskMLg7eEc

 

By using the `grep` command to match the pattern, we can quickly find the content and retrieve the password!
