Bandit: Level 9→10

bandit level-9-10

The goal of this level is to get the password for the next level in a file called data.txt that has several =s in front of it

We can accomplish this by using the strings command to list all of the different strings in the file

First we need to log onto the level

When we do a quick search with the ls command we can see that the file named data.txt is located in the home directory

If we output the data using the cat command we get an output of a lot of strings and characters

To sort through those characters we need to separate the strings command

Then we can scroll down and we can see that there are many strings that are preceded by equal signs

The last string that is preceded by equal signs are in the same format and length as past passwords so that is our password
