Bandit2

bandit level 2

ssh server: bandit.labs.overthewire.org port 2220

username: bandit2

password: CV1DtqXWVFXTvM2F0k09SHz0YwRINYA9

connect to the ssh server

by listing the bandit2 home directory we face a file named "spaces in this filename", regularly if we typed in the file name as it is cat command deals with every word as a separate file that's why it will respond with 

cat: spaces: No such file or directory

cat: in: No such file or directory

cat: this: No such file or directory

cat: filename: No such file or directory

so we need to find out a workaround, which is else using single or double quotes or use forward slash

$ cat spaces\ in\ this\ filename

OR

$ cat 'spaces in this filename'

OR

$ cat "spaces in this filename"

 all the previse methods will print out the contents of the file with spaces in its name which is the password for the next challenge bandit3

 Bandit1

bandit level 1

ssh server: bandit.labs.overthewire.org port 2220

username: bandit1

password: boJ9jbbUNNfktd78OOpsqOltutMc3MY1

connect to the ssh server

The bandit1 home directory contains nothing else a file with name dash "-", Linux uses -'s to add command arguments which means that the file can not be directly be read by the cat command

the work around is to not add the - direct next to the cat command, this could be dome in several ways

 

$ cat ./-

this means print out the contents of the file named - which in the root of current directory

OR

$ cat /home/bandit1/-

this means print out the contents of the file named - which in the bath /home/bandit1

OR

$ cat < -

direct the contents of the file -  to be printed

OR

$ dd if=- 1>/div/stdout

convert and copy the Input File named - to the standard output (the screen)

this prints some unneeded data, that's why we use the next format

$ dd if=- 2>/dev/null

convert and copy the Input File named - to the standard output (the screen), but direct the unneeded data to a null device

all the previse methods will print out the contents of the file "-" which is the password for the next challenge bandit2

lets meet in bandit2

Bandit0

 

bandit level 0

ssh server: bandit.labs.overthewire.org port 2220

username: bandit0

password: bandit0

Connect to the bandit labs ssh server

 

where bandit0 is the username and 2220 is the ssh port for the gamming server

 

 

then we will submit bandit0 as the password

 

 

Finally, we are into the server, once we are into the server

 

Listing the files in the home directory of bandit0 will show a file named readme with read write access for bandit1 as a user, and only read access for bandit0 group

 

Reading the readme file will revile the bandit1 password

 

That was cool and easy meet you in the next challenge bandit1
