Bandit [Level 15] - Overthewire

ssh bandit15@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220
bandit password: jN2kgmIXJ6fShzhT2avhotn4Zcka6tnt

Task

The password for the next level can be retrieved by submitting the password of the current level to port 30001 on localhost using SSL encryption.

Helpful note:

• Getting “HEARTBEATING” and “Read R BLOCK”? Use -ign_eof and read the “CONNECTED COMMANDS” section in the manpage. Next to �R� and �Q�, the �B� command also works in this version of that command…

Solution

I tried connecting to the port 30001 with the command below which seemed to work and I was able to type in the password of bandit15 :))

openssl s_client -connect localhost:30001

Now it require type passwd bandit15 to receive passwd bandit16
