If you are here that means you have successfully logged into bandit0 using ssh command (Username — bandit0 & Password — bandit0)
Now that we are in bandit0, let's see what all we have i.e. directory, files, etc using the ls -la command
“ls” is basically used to list files or directories, by default it only shows the name of the files.
Using ls with -l will give output in a long list format including the file type, permissions, number of hard links, owner, group, size, date & name.
“-a” is used to show all hidden files.
Back to bandit Level 0–1, we have to find the password for bandit1
— use ls -la to see all the files & directories
— we can see a readme file(as its -rw….., dash in starting means a file, “d” in starting means a directory )
now using cat to read the file -> we find the password to ssh into bandit1.
bandit0@bandit:~$ ls -la
total 24
