Tripping Over the Wire

Bandit Level Zero

Level Goal

Level 0

The goal for this level is for you to log into the game using SSH. The host to which you need to connect is bandit.labs.overthewire.org, on port 2220. The username is bandit0 and the password is bandit0. Once logged in, go to the Level 1 page to find out how to beat Level 1.

Commands you may need to solve this level: ssh

Thought Process

Fortunately i'm passingly familiar with ssh from the command line. But, I am a bit rusty on how to assign the right port, since ssh defaults to port 22. Fortunately I can use man <command> to see the manual for any given command. These aren't always the most riveting reading, but I always learn something.

From the manual it looks like running ssh -p <port> <username>@<domain> should do the trick.
