There is a setuid binary in the homedirectory that does the following: it makes a connection to localhost on the port you specify as a commandline argument. It then reads a line of text from the connection and compares it to the password in the previous level bandit20. If the password is correct, it will transmit the password for the next level bandit21. NOTE: Try connecting to your own network daemon to see if it works as you think ...
A program is running automatically at regular intervals from cron, the time-based job scheduler. Look in /etc/cron.d/ for the configuration and see what command is being executed. Here are the details which we have from the previous level: Host: bandit.labs.overthewire.org Port: 2220 Username: bandit21 Password: EeoULMCra2q0dSkYj561DX7s1CpBuOBt So, The SSH syntax will be: sshpass -p EeoULMCra2q0dSkYj561DX7s1CpBuOBt ssh [email protected] -p 2220 In this level, we need to find the password for the next level bandit22. The hint suggests that a program is running automatically at regular intervals using cron, the time-based job scheduler. So, Lets begin: ...
A program is running automatically at regular intervals from cron, the time-based job scheduler. Look in /etc/cron.d/ for the configuration and see what command is being executed. Here are the details which we have from the previous level: Host: bandit.labs.overthewire.org Port: 2220 Username: bandit22 Password: tRae0UfB9v0UzbCdn9cY0gQnds9GF58Q So, The SSH syntax will be: sshpass -p tRae0UfB9v0UzbCdn9cY0gQnds9GF58Q ssh [email protected] -p 2220 The cron jobs are usually stored in /etc/cron.d. We start by navigating to this directory. cd /etc/cron.d ls # Output: # cronjob_bandit22 cronjob_bandit23 cronjob_bandit24 e2scrub_all otw-tmp-dir sysstat Among these files, cronjob_bandit23 is interesting since it suggests a cron job for bandit23. ...

A daemon is listening on port 30002 and will give you the password for bandit25 if given the password for bandit24 and a secret numeric 4-digit pin code. There is no way to retrieve the pin code except by going through all the 10000 combinations, called brute-forcing. Here are the details which we have from the previous level: Host: bandit.labs.overthewire.org Port: 2220 Username: bandit24 Password: gb8KRRCsshuZXI0tUuR6ypOFjiZbf3G8 So, The SSH syntax will be: sshpass -p gb8KRRCsshuZXI0tUuR6ypOFjiZbf3G8 ssh [email protected] -p 2220 To solve the challenge, we need to brute-force the password for bandit25 by trying all possible 4-digit PIN codes along with the known password for bandit24 on port 30002. ...
Logging in to bandit26 from bandit25 should be fairly easy… The shell for user bandit26 is not /bin/bash, but something else. Find out what it is, how it works and how to break out of it. Here are the details which we have from the previous level: Host: bandit.labs.overthewire.org Port: 2220 Username: bandit25 Password: iCi86ttT4KSNe1armKiwbQNmB3YJP3q4 So, The SSH syntax will be: sshpass -p iCi86ttT4KSNe1armKiwbQNmB3YJP3q4 ssh [email protected] -p 2220 In this level, we need to find which shell is used by bandit26, understand how it works, and find a way to break out of it. This will involve some investigation and creativity. Let’s dive into the challenge. ...
Good job getting a shell! Now hurry and grab the password for bandit27! Here are the details which we have from the previous level: Host: bandit.labs.overthewire.org Port: 2220 Username: bandit26 Password: s0773xxkk0MXfdqOfPRVr9L3jJBUOgCZ So, The SSH syntax will be: sshpass -p s0773xxkk0MXfdqOfPRVr9L3jJBUOgCZ ssh [email protected] -p 2220 In this level, we must get a shell through Bandit: Level 25 => Level 26 level. After gaining access to the bandit26 user shell, we find a SUID binary in the home directory. This looks kind of familiar, right? In fact, it’s the same challenge as Bandit: Level 19 => Level 20. ...
There is a git repository at ssh://bandit27-git@localhost/home/bandit27-git/repo via the port 2220. The password for the user bandit27-git is the same as for the user bandit27. Clone the repository and find the password for the next level. Here are the details which we have from the previous level: Host: bandit.labs.overthewire.org Port: 2220 Username: bandit27 Password: upsNCc7vzaRDx6oZC6GiR6ERwe1MowGB In this level, we need to work with a git repository located at ssh://bandit27-git@localhost/home/bandit27-git/repo via port 2220. The password for the user bandit27-git is the same as for the user bandit27. Let’s construct the command to clone the repository to our system. ...
There is a git repository at ssh://bandit28-git@localhost/home/bandit28-git/repo via the port 2220. The password for the user bandit28-git is the same as for the user bandit28.
