Level 0 → Level 1

Level Goal

The password for the next level is stored in a file called readme located in the home directory. Use this password to log into bandit1 using SSH. Whenever you find a password for a level, use SSH (on port 2220) to log into that level and continue the game. Commands you may need to solve this level

ls , cd , cat , file , du , find

Thought Process

ls is one of those commands I run constanttly and immediately, Usually after pwd if my prompt doesn't show me. Where am I and what else is here? ls shows me that there is one file in my current directory, called readme. cat readme prints the file contents to the terminal, showing the password. No need to check out file, du, or find yet, but I'm sure they'll come up soon.
