OverTheWire: Bandit Level 3

Using ssh, ls, cat, cd on Command Line

Things to do: by now you should have gotten used to logging into the next level. Simply change the username and use the password you got from the previous task

1. ssh into bandit2 host bandit.labs.overthewire.org (incase you are not logged in. But if you are already logged in, skip this step and go to number 5)
2. port 2220
3. username bandit1
4. password 263JGJPfgU6LtdEvgfWU1XP5yac29mFx
5. Use ls to find --spaces in this filename--
6. Now you cannot use cat -- to open the file because it will return an error. Use the syntax below instead and copy the new password
7. ssh into bandit3
8. enter the new password copied

Remember to save these passwords in a note app for future references

bandit2@bandit:~$ ls
--spaces in this filename--
bandit2@bandit:~$ cat spaces\ in\ this\ filename # THIS CAN WORK FOR YOU. 

cat: 'spaces in this filename': No such file or directory

#BUT IF YOU GOT AN ERROR USE THIS 

bandit2@bandit:~$ cat ./--spaces\ in\ this\ filename--


copy the password 

exit (to logout from bandit2)

#ssh into bandit2 using the password we copied from - as our new password 

ssh [e-mail] -p 2220

enter new password - MNk8KNH3Usiio41PRUEoDFPqfxLPlSmx
