Overthewire.org Bandit Level 0 -> 1

This is the first in a series that will show how I solve the overthewire.org Bandit puzzles as I am completing them.

Bandit 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.

Walkthrough

This level is simple enough just login to the server using given username and password.

~$ ssh bandit0@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220
bandit0@bandit.labs.overthewire.org's password: bandit0

Once logged in I only needed to read the contents of the readme file.

bandit0@bandit:~$ ls
readme
bandit0@bandit:~$ cat readme

The output from the cat readme command is the password for the next level.

First level is simple enough all that is needed is to read a file.
