Bandit level 14

Level Goal

The password for the next level can be retrieved by submitting the password of the current level to port 30000 on localhost.

Now we advance beyond just catting out files, now we need to connect to the server on the address localhost, with the port of 30000. To access these bandit games we use ssh to connect to the server, that connection type will not work for this level. What other methods of server connections do we have? There is at least two different ways to solve this.

Useful commands:

  • nmap
  • telnet
  • nc

Solution - Spoiler Alert!

We are provided with the port we need to connect to and the address. The two ways to solve this is either using telnet or netcat. Both telnet localhost 30000 and nc localhost 30000 will give us a connection to the server where we can paste the password for the current level in, and receive the next password.
