Level 0

Level Goal

The goal of this level is for you to log into the game using SSH. The host to which you need to connect is bandit.labs.overthewire.org, on port 2220. The username is bandit0 and the password is bandit0. Once logged in, go to the Level 1 page to find out how to beat Level 1.

Write-Up

To complete this level, I used the SSH command with specific flags to connect to the non-standard port. Here's the command:

ssh [e-mail] -p 2220

• ssh: Initiates a secure shell connection

• bandit0: Specifies the username we're logging in with

• bandit.labs.overthewire.org: Specifies the username and host

• -p 2220: Indicates the port number to connect to (2220 instead of the default 22)

Upon execution, I was prompted for the password and entered bandit0.

Lessons Learned

• Hands-on experience with SSH

• Connecting to non-standard port
