Level 6

Login

SSH: ssh [email protected] -p 2220

Challenge URL: https://overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/bandit7.html

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.

Solution

We have to go to the root folder / for this task.

We just have to use the find command with the flags that are mentioned in the task. It's very similar to the previous level.

Since the condition will be matched by just one file, a lot of Permission denied errors will come up so we can redirect the error code of 2 to /dev/null as follows:

find / -user bandit7 -group bandit6 -size 33c 2>/dev/null

One liner: find / -user bandit7 -group bandit6 -size 33c 2>/dev/null | xargs cat
