Logging in

On a kali vm/ linux machine
Type:

Completing The Challenge

The Goal:

password for next level located in the file data.txt next to the word millionth

The Solution:

bandit7@bandit:~$ ls data.txt 
bandit7@bandit:~$ grep millionth data.txt 
millionth cvX2JJa4CFALtqS87jk27qwqGhBM9plV

grep is essentially a string search that returns the line in a file where the string is found

grep takes modifiers and the word its searching for first

the file should be the final input to a grep search

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
