Level 14 to Level 15

Now while being logged in as the user bandit14, you need to find the password of user bandit15 in order to complete this level.

If you haven’t completed the previous level, do check out the write-up for Level 13 to Level 14, which is present here.

Follow these steps to proceed:

• In this level, you’ll have to use the password found in the previous level
• We need to enter that password to a service running on the port 30000 on the server
• In order to connect to that service, we can use netcat, which can be run as follows:

nc localhost 30000

• After running this, put the password and press enter. You’ll be greeted with the following message:

Correct!
<password>

• This is the required password
• Password obtained at the time of writing this write-up: 8xCjnmgoKbGLhHFAZlGE5Tmu4M2tKJQo

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.
