Bandit Over The Wire Level 0 – 1

We start this game with level 0, go ssh to bandit.labs.overthewire.org, on port 2220 with username ‘bandit0’ and password ‘bandit0’.

The clue is “The password for the next level is stored in a file called readme located in the home directory”.

Use ‘pwd’ command, to make sure we are in home directory. And then we can use ‘ls’ command to see if this ‘readme’ file is here. With ‘file’ command, we can identify the type of file as ‘ASCII text’, so we can use ‘cat’ command to read the text.

Use this password to login for the next level 1 – 2.
