Tripping Over the Wire

Bandit Level 7 → 8

Level Goal

Level 7 → 8

The password for the next level is stored in the file data.txt next to the word millionth

Commands you may need to solve this level:

man, grep, sort, uniq, strings, base64, tr, tar, gzip, bzip2, xxd

Thought Process

The task is to find one word in a file with many, many words.

After taking a look at the output of the sole file in my home directory, data.txt I can tell I need some easy way to scan for the string 'millionth'

I know I can use cat to output the entirety of the file, and I know that I can pipe the output of one command into another command with |. If I combine that with grep to search for the word I'm looking for I should find my answer.
