Bandit Level 11 Level 12

Introduction

In Level 11 of the Bandit wargame, we're faced with a cryptographic challenge that requires some clever manipulation. Let's jump right into the steps to crack it.

Steps.

  1. Access the Remote Server: Open your terminal and connect to the remote server using this command:

    ssh bandit10@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220
    

    Input the password from the previous level: 6zPeziLdR2RKNdNYFNb6nVCKzphlXHBM.

  2. Decrypt with tr: Once connected, run this command to decrypt the data:

    cat data.txt | tr 'A-Za-z' 'N-ZA-Mn-za-m'
    

    The tr command shifts each letter by 13 positions, revealing the concealed message.

The output of the command contains the password for the next level:
