Bandit: Level 15→16

bandit level-15-16

The goal of this level is to retrieve the password for the next level via port 30001 and SSL encryption

To accomplish this we are going to be using piping and openssl

First we need to log onto the level

We need to encrypt the password and submit it to port 30001

To do this we are going to use the openssl command

Type the command echo "BfMYroe26WYalil77FoDi9qh59eK5xNr" | openssl s_client -connect localhost:30001 -ign_eof

This command is piping the password to openssl

The openssl s_client part is instantiating a client in which we can use the connect to port 30001

We then use the -connect argument to connect to that port on localhost

Then we use the -ing_eof to stop the port from stopping our connection

When we run the command we get the next password
