Completing The Challenge

The Solution:

bandit11@bandit:~$ cat data.txt

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
