To access this website, you must produce a valid tar command without alt-tabbing. You have ten seconds to comply.

Define "valid"? If you mean "doesn't give an exit error", `tar --help`[0] and `tar --usage`[1] are valid.

[0] For both bsdtar (3.8.1) and GNU tar (1.35)

[1] Only for GNU tar (1.35)

Damn, you solved it!

I feel so bad that I need to google every single time I need to untar and unzip a file :(
