OverTheWire-Level Directory
Previous Level: 8

Level 9 Fight!

In order to begin you will need to use PuTTY or preferably Linux and use the following information

If you are currently in a level type “logout”

Now type “ssh bandit9@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220”
Password:”UsvVyFSfZZWbi6wgC7dAFyFuR6jQQUhR”
We are now into level 9

For this level we are told

“The password for the next level is stored in the file data.txt in one of the few human-readable strings, preceded by several ‘=’ characters.”

If you have done this before you will know you can use

“ls “ to show files/folders

We then see”data.txt”

To find the password we will need to find the correct part of the txt file with

“strings data.txt | grep -E “=””

This will be a bit “dirty but we can see a string that should be the password

“truKLdjsbJ5g7yyJ2X2R0o3a5HQJFuLk” is the password

Once again we can use
“ssh bandit10@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220”
and the password we just found to login to the next level

Next Level: 10
