Bandit Level 6 → Level 7

https://overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/bandit7.html

The password for the next level is stored somewhere on the server and has all of the following properties:

• owned by user bandit7

• owned by group bandit6

• 33 bytes in size

Now we search the entire file system. Again we use the find command, but now we search from the root folder / and for all proprieties. Furthermore, it is helpful to redirect the error stream to /dev/null to avoid showing to many errors.

bandit6@bandit:~$ find / -user bandit7 -group bandit6 -size 33c 2>/dev/null
/var/lib/dpkg/info/bandit7.password
bandit6@bandit:~$ cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/bandit7.password
