Read a file!

OverTheWire: Level Goal

Level 0 -> Level 1 Hints @ OTW

We need to read a file that contains the password! Lets start by listing all the files in the current directory (folder).

# -a => All files
# -l => Long List (formats output)
ls -al

Here we see the readme file mentioned on the OTW page.

Listing of home directory

We will use the cat command to print the password:

cat ./readme

Output of solution

Then we simply type exit to exit the shell and reconnect as bandit1 and use the provided password

exit
