Task The password for the next level is stored in the file data.txt next to the word millionth. Login SSH: bandit7@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220 Password: morbNTDkSW6jIlUc0ymOdMaLnOlFVAaj Theory To solve this level and move on we just need to use one command, the grep command scan search Solution grep “millionth” data.txt millionth dfwvzFQi4mU0wfNbFOe9RoWskMLg7eEc
Task The password for the next level is stored somewhere on the server and has all of the following properties: owned by user bandit7 owned by group bandit6 33 bytes in size Login SSH: bandit6@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220 Password: HWasnPhtq9AVKe0dmk45nxy20cvUa6EG Theory The process to solve this task is pretty similar to the previous level, we just need the find command with some different attribute, -user [username] searches for files owned by a specific user and -group [groupname] searches for files owned by a specific group....
Task Find the only file that respect these requirements and read its content. The requirements are: human-readable 1033 bytes in size not executable Login SSH: bandit5@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220 Password: 4oQYVPkxZOOEOO5pTW81FB8j8lxXGUQw Theory To solve this task, we’ll use a combination of basic Linux commands to search for and identify the file with the specified properties. Let’s break down the key commands we’ll be using: find Command The find command in Linux is a powerful tool that allows users to search for files and directories based on various criteria....
Task Find the only human-readable file inside the inhere directory.

To do that we can use the file command, some examples would be: ASCII text, directory, POSIX tar archive. Trying to read a non human-readable file would show something like this in the output l�����]�a߯-@gQ�÷�wz�P�ߠy�. Solution SSH in to the remote host again and go to the inhere directory....
Task Find and read the content of the hidden file in the inhere directory. Login SSH: bandit3@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220 Password: MNk8KNH3Usiio41PRUEoDFPqfxLPlSmx Theory To find an hidden file in a linux filesystem is really easy, we can use the ls command to list every file in the directory adding to it the -a attribute to list hidden files too. They are commonly used for storing user preferences or preserving the state of a utility and are frequently created implicitly by using various utilities....
