Bandit

Level 6

The password for the next level is stored somewhere on the server and has all of the following properties:
  - owned by user bandit7
  - owned by group bandit6
  - 33 bytes in size


Solution

Again we use the find command to find the file.

  - owned by user bandit7        -user bandit7
  - owned by group bandit6       -group bandit6
  - size of 33 bytes              -size 33c

Final Command:

$ find / -type f -user bandit7 -group bandit6 -size 33c 2> /dev/null

Takeaway

  - Always refer the manual for various options like -user etc.
  - Send errors to /dev/null, else our terminal would be cluttered
