OverTheWire Bandit

Below are my solutions to Bandit level 5 to 9 continuing from Level 0-4. Let’s get started~!!

Level 5

Task

Below is the task for Level 5.

Find the password that is stored in the only file in the "inhere" directory that is human-readable.

My Solution

First, I ran the following commands to list all the files in the “inhere” directory.

ls
cd inhere
ls -a

In the “inhere” directory, there were ten files named “-file00” to “-file09”. To find the human-readable file, the type of each file must be known.

One of the most recommended way to learn Linux commands and basics in CTF is completing Bandit from OverTheWire. Therefore, I decided to complete this challenge first before any other CTF challenges.

Then, let’s get started!
