Now while being logged in as the user bandit0, you need to find the password of user bandit1 in order to complete this level.

If you haven’t completed the previous level, do check out the write-up for Level 0, which is present here.

Follow these steps to proceed:

  • Locate the file readme in the home directory of the user bandit0
  • Use the ls command to list all the files in a directory
  • Read the contents of the readme file using cat command as: cat readme
  • This will show you the password of the user bandit1. Note that down and proceed forward to the next level.

Password obtained at the time of writing this write-up: ZjLjTmM6FvvyRnrb2rfNWOZOTa6ip5If

Note

Passwords on each of the levels are known to change regularly after a specific interval of time. So instead of skimming through the write-up, it is recommended to solve the challenge by hand.
