Bandit

Bandit is the easiest of the OverTheWire wargame sets, designed for beginners. It’s designed to teach the basics so as to enable the players to solve the other wargames. Bandit is primarily accessible by ssh shell. The challenges are running at specific URL, viz. bandit.labs.overthewire.org. Users can log into a particular level by using the username: banditX where X is the challenge level and providing the level password obtained from the previous level. Tasks in Bandit involve vim shells, privilege exploits, scripting, etc.

Before going through this walkthrough, I highly recommend you attempt to solve them yourself. Only when you have tried all you can think of, should you refer to this walkthrough. I’ve tried explaining the thinking process behind the solution so that, you could follow the process wherever else you might need to.

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.

Bandit25

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 pincode. There is no way to retrieve the pincode except by going through all of the 10000 combinations, called brute-forcing.
