Bandit4

bandit level4

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

username: bandit4

password: pIwrPrtPN36QITSp3EQaw936yaFoFgAB

after connecting to the server ls -al shows the existing of a directory named "inhere"

$ cd inhere

$ ls -al

shows a list of 10 files with name -file0X where X is number from 0 to 9

traying to cat any file of them shows garbage, the only solution is to implement the hint in the challenge saying that the password is in the only humane readable file

using the file command shows the file type of each of them there is only one file which is an ASCII text file "-file07"

then we only need to read this file

$ cat ./-file07

this is the password for the next level bandit5
tell we meet there

bandit level 3

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

username: bandit3

password: UmHadQclWmgdLOKQ3YNgjWxGoRMb5luK

ssh server connection, next the normal ls -al to list directory contents

obviously that there is something in the inhere directory, cd to the inhere.

 then if we tried to list its contents with the "ls" command without any extra arguments it will return nothing, but with the "-al" argument it shows a file named ".hidden" we should not neglect the "." in the beginning of the filename.

in Linux systems files are hided by adding that "." at the beginning of its name, now 

$ cat .hidden 

it prints out the next challenge bandit4 password

meet you in bandit4
