Hello everyone, there has been an update to level 25 of the bandit game. i hope it will be helpful.

hello Folks!!! it’s a samxia99

I have written this article to help beginners and to explain how I solved one level. designed to be useful for those looking for guidance. I hope my walkthrough will be helpful.

Just a quick reminder that the game has been updated, so the password has also been changed. I hope this password is helpful!

Bandit Level 25 → Level 26

  • Level Goal

Logging in to bandit26 from bandit25 should be fairly easy… The shell for user bandit26 is not /bin/bash, but something else. Find out what it is, how it works, and how to break out of it.

  • command used

ssh, cat, more, vi, ls, id, pwd

Note:- For the next step we need to small the shell

used cmd:-ssh -i bandit26.sshkey bandit26@localhost -p 2220

After running this command, type “yes” to grant permission.

After this, you can resize the shell to see the details more clearly. and use click v to open the editor.

use cmd:-:e /etc/bandit_pass/bandit26

we will get the password.

we can also use the shell to see the password.

pass:-c7GvcKlw9mC7aUQaPx7nwFstuAIBw1o1

Note:- To login in the bandit26 we need to small a shell. and using a password to login.

when you see this click V to open the editor.

After opening the editor, we can solve the next level.

Hopefully, this write-up will be useful for everybody, I have tried to make it easy to read. and this password is not working in your case so try to solve it yourself.

PS: I will write the next part right after this.
