Commands you may need to solve this level

ssh

• ssh stands for Secure Shell and is a program for logging into a remote machine. It provide secure encrypted communications between two hosts.

 

Write up

To solve this level, we can use the `ssh` command to log into the Bandit server at `bandit.labs.overthewire.org` on port 2220, using the username `bandit0` and password `bandit0`.

 

The `ssh` command enables secure login to a remote server. The standard syntax is:

ssh [username]@[hostname] -p [port]

 

 

Using this syntax, run the following command in your terminal:

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

 

 

After running the command, you’ll be prompted for a password. Enter `bandit0`. If successful, you will be logged into the remote server and see a shell prompt.

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