Bandit [Level 14] - Overthewire

ssh bandit14@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220
bandit password: fGrHPx402xGC7U7rXKDaxiWFTOiF0ENq

Task

The password for the next level can be retrieved by submitting the password of the current level to port 30000 on localhost.

Solution

According to the hint we have to connect to port 30000 on localhost and we have to send a string containing the current password. To do this I ran “nc localhost 30000” and once I saw that I was connected I pasted the password for bandit14 and then I received the following output

bandit14@bandit:~$ nc localhost 30000
fGrHPx402xGC7U7rXKDaxiWFTOiF0ENq
