Level Goal

There are 2 files in the homedirectory: passwords.old and passwords.new. The password for the next level is in passwords.new and is the only line that has been changed between passwords.old and passwords.new

NOTE: if you have solved this level and see ‘Byebye!’ when trying to log into bandit18, this is related to the next level, bandit19

Commands you may need to solve this level

  • cat
  • grep
  • ls
  • diff

My Answer (Step by step)

  1. 連線到伺服器並登入
ssh bandit17@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220
  1. 透過 diff 指令比對新舊密碼的差異，即可找到 Level 18 密碼!
diff passwords.new passwords.old
