Level 6 to 7
The password 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.
First, I logged into level 6.
After logging in. I tried to use the search function with the file size of 33 bytes but there were too many results.
So then I added more parameters given from the challenge. Added user and group owners.
I scrolled through search results. I saw a file bandit7.password at the end. So I cat the file and it showed the password.
As always copy the password and try to log into the next level to verify the password. It worked for me.
User: Bandit7
Password: HKBPTKQnIay4Fw76bEy8PVxKEDQRKTzs
Level 7 to 8
The hint is “Password stored in the file data.txt next to the word millionth.”
I stayed logged into 7 from the prior challenge. I tried to cat the file which was located in the default directory. I tried to cat the file but it contained too much info.
Since it was a text file. I went into the file as editor using “vi data.txt”. Then I search within the file /millionth and found the password. Again, copy the pw. Use “:q!” to quit without changes.
Always try to log into the next level to verify.
