Level goal

The password for the next level is stored in a file called readme located in the home directory. Use this password to log into bandit1 using SSH. Whenever you find a password for a level, use SSH (on port 2220) to log into that level and continue the game.

Note!

For all bandit level logins, the default route is using ssh. Format:

ssh bandit(level)@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220

Login

ssh bandit0@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220
bandit0

bandit0@bandit:~$ ls
