Over the Wire - Bandit - Level 1-2

Bandit Level 1- Level 2

Goal: get the password for next level

Given Info:-

stored file: '-' located in home directory

Here first you need to enter the level 1 by using the password we got in previous level. for that we use the following command

ssh bandit1@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220

then the terminal ask for your password then give the password we got in previous level.(As shown in the above pic)

Now list the files in the current directory using ls command

Here you can see the file named '-' open it using cat command

here we used the command cat ./-

A file name starting with an hyphen(-) cant read by the cat command instead we need to use ./ in the starting of the file name.

Now we got the password for next level
