Bandit Level 3

Goal

The password for the next level is stored in a hidden file in the inhere directory.

Key concept

Hidden files on Linux typically start with a dot, like:

• .hidden
• .password

By default, ls won’t show them.

Steps

1. SSH in:

ssh bandit3@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220

2. Go into the directory:

cd inhere

3. List including hidden:

ls -la

4. Identify the file that looks like the password file, then read it:

cat .hidden

That output is the password for Level 4.

Notes

• -l gives details; -a includes dotfiles.
• If the hidden filename is different, use whatever you see in ls -la.
