Completing The Challenge

The Goal:

password for next level located in a file called spaces in this file name in the home directory

The Solution:

The beauty of most Linux is the TAB autocomplete for most operating systems:

cat spaces\ in\ this\ filename

*Remember spaces in the terminal specify new value by placing a backslash you tell the terminal that this space is not for that.

Password:

In case you haven't noticed my descriptions are not great, but they should work for the most part.

Bandit 20 Over The Wire

Lessons Learned using nc to create a steady connection, also on background and foreground processes Logging in On a kali vm/ linux machine Type: ssh bandit20@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220 GbKksEFF4yrVs6il55v6gwY5aVje5f0j Completing The Challenge The Goal: There is a setuid binary in the homedirectory that does the following: it makes a connection to localhost on the port you specify as a commandline argument. It then reads a line of text from the connection and compares it to the password in the previous level (bandit20). If the password is correct, it will transmit the password for the next level (bandit21). The Solution: bandit20@bandit:~$ nc -l -p 2000 ^Z [1]+  Stopped                 nc -l -p 2000 bandit20@bandit:~$ ./suconnect 2000 ^Z [2]+  Stopped                 ./suconnect 2000 bandit20@bandit:~$ fg 1 nc -l -p 2000 GbKksEFF4yrVs6il55v6gwY5aVje5f0j ^Z [1]+  Stopped                 nc -l -p 2000 bandit20@bandit:~$ fg 2 ./suconnect 2000 Read: GbKksEFF4yrVs6il55v6gwY5aVje5f0j
