Introduction
Bandit level 8 is all about finding a specific word in a file and extracting its value. In this level, we are given a file called data.txt
and are tasked with finding the value of a specific word.
Steps
- Connect to the Bandit server using SSH with the following command:
ssh bandit7@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220
- Enter the password for Bandit level 8 when prompted:
z7WtoNQU2XfjmMtWA8u5rN4vzqu4v99S
. - We are given a file called
data.txt
. Use thecat
command to view the contents of the file:
cat data.txt
- We are tasked with finding the value of the word "millionth" in the file. To accomplish this, we can use the
grep
command to search for the word, and then use theawk
command to extract its value. The command to do this is as follows:
cat data.txt | grep millionth | awk -F " " '{print $2}'
- After running the command, the value of the word "millionth" will be displayed in the terminal.
