Bandit Level 5

Goal

The password is stored in a file somewhere under inhere/ that matches constraints (size, non-executable, etc.).

Key concept

find is the Swiss army knife for locating files by properties.

Steps

1. SSH in:

ssh bandit5@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220

2. Move into the search root:

cd inhere

3. Use find to locate candidate files.

The official level text tells you the exact constraints; a typical pattern looks like:

find . -type f -size 1033c ! -executable

4. Once you find the candidate, read it:

cat ./maybehere07/.file2

(Use the path returned by your find command.)

That output is the password for Level 6.

Notes

• -size 1033c means 1033 bytes.
• ! -executable filters out executable files.
• If you get zero results, re-check the constraints and try again.
