    The value is on the target system in /etc/flag.txt - not on the local system.
    The target system has a vulnerability, maybe to spawn a shell allowing you to download the file, or a vulnerability in the database allowing to either read and display or to download the file.

      Still confused.

      I went and worked on the (optional) lab about Unions.

      I get the general idea, but I'm not seeing where / how to do one of those commands in this lab.

        Did you do the lab "SQL Injection: sqlmap"?
        Similar task, more guided.
