This is an independent companion to OverTheWire Bandit, a wargame for people learning command-line and security fundamentals.
How to use the track
- Read the official goal for the level first.
- Try the level before opening a solution.
- Use the command explanations to understand the mechanism rather than copy a line blindly.
- Keep your own notes. OverTheWire says passwords can change and are not saved automatically.
Credentials and spoilers
Baitaphish does not publish, request, or store current game credentials. Where a page includes a walkthrough, the solution is placed after the goal or inside a disclosure so you can decide when to reveal it.
Use the techniques only in the OverTheWire environment or another system where you have clear permission.
Attribution and limits
Bandit, its levels, and its official instructions belong to the OverTheWire community. Read the OverTheWire rules and the official level page when this companion differs from the live game. Baitaphish is not affiliated with or endorsed by OverTheWire.
