Completing The Challenge

The Goal:

password for next level located in the only human-readable file in the inhere director
The Solution:

bandit4@bandit:~$ ls inhere 
bandit4@bandit:~$ cd inhere/ 
bandit4@bandit:~/inhere$ ls 
-file00 -file02 -file04 -file06 -file08 
-file01 -file03 -file05 -file07 -file09 
bandit4@bandit:~/inhere$ file ./* 
./-file00: data 
./-file01: data 
./-file02: data 
./-file03: data 
./-file04: data 
./-file05: data 
./-file06: data 
./-file07: ASCII text 
./-file08: data 
./-file09: data 
bandit4@bandit:~/inhere$ cat ./-file07

the file command tells you what kind of file a certain file is, the * is a wildcard so by using ./(this directory) in conjunction with * the wildcard we tell the file command to check all the files in the directory and tell us what type of file they are, data means binary/gibberish that computers understand ascii is one of the formats available for text that is human readable.

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
