It works! is the error message, that appears in the frame of a browser while one tries to access the URL Localhost, using the apache software at the poor configuration [2][3].

Sometimes, the sentence It works! is stored in file /Library/Webserver/Documents/index.html.en and can be substituted to something meaningful. In other cases, the content of file /Library/Webserver/Documents/index.html.en does not affect the look of sites localhost nor http://127.0.0.1 and it requires serious efforts to locate the file that produces the error message.

The path to the secret file, that generate message It works! can be cracked with the appropriate hummer or ax. In Linux and Macintosh operational system, the efficient ax seems to be

ls -ax
