Bandit 5

Level Goal

The password for the next level is stored in a file somewhere under the inhere directory and has all of the following properties:

  • human-readable
  • 1033 bytes in size
  • not executable

Commands you may need to solve this level

ls, cd, cat, file, du, find






If you happen to be solving this one on your own, we need to check the man page for it. We need to find the file that has a size of 1033 bytes. We need to indicate it with the size switch and use the 1033c in which the c indicates the number of bytes 

bandit5@bandit:~$ ls
inhere
bandit5@bandit:~$ cd ./inhere
bandit5@bandit:~/inhere$ ls
maybehere00  maybehere04  maybehere08  maybehere12  maybehere16
maybehere01  maybehere05  maybehere09  maybehere13  maybehere17
maybehere02  maybehere06  maybehere10  maybehere14  maybehere18
maybehere03  maybehere07  maybehere11  maybehere15  maybehere19
bandit5@bandit:~/inhere$ find -size 1033c
./maybehere07/.file2
bandit5@bandit:~/inhere$ cat ./maybehere07/.file2

Thoughts on ISSA talk on using AI to automate security

Recently I attended the ISSA presentation in MN, the description of it: The Power and Potential of Robotic Process Automation. And the Security Risks. Please join us on March 22 nd  as we explore the powerful and emerging Robotic Process Automation technology in regards to what IT security professionals need to know about RPA platforms . Robotic process automation (RPA) is a powerful and emerging technology that streamlines and standardizes many human user processes as well as harmonizes different systems across an organization’s environment. So what do IT security professionals need to know about RPA platforms? Very simply, it is a new attack vector and organizations need to start to understand their risk. Because RPA software interacts directly with business applications and mimics the way applications use and mirror human credentials and entitlements, this can introduce risks when the software robots automate and perform routine business processes across multiple

Bandit level 14

Bandit 14 Level Goal The password for the next level can be retrieved by submitting the password of the current level to port 30000 on localhost . Commands you may need to solve this level ssh, telnet, nc, openssl, s_client, nmap Helpful Reading Material How the Internet works in 5 minutes (YouTube) (Not completely accurate, but good enough for beginners) IP Addresses IP Address on Wikipedia Localhost on Wikipedia Ports Port (computer networking) on Wikipedia Okay so I know telnet doesn't have authentication. I know I'm probably using that so I check the man page. Synopsis telnet [ -8EFKLacdfrx ] [ -X authtype ] [ -b hostalias ] [ -e escapechar ] [ -k realm ] [ -l user ] [ -n tracefile ] [ host [ port ]] Okay so the command will be "telnet localhost 30000", remember those instructions from the previous level on where that password was? Neither do , lets read it again! "The pa
