Writeup - OverTheWire Bandit3


The purpose of this level is to teach the user how to maneuver between directories and how to handle filenames that begin with a period.
The first step, as always, is to use the command ls -la
to view the files in the current directory. This will show the directory inhere
. After using the cd inhere
command, once more use the ls -la
command to view the files in the directory. The password for the next level is in the .hidden
file. The file can be accessed by placing double quotes around the filename: cat ".hidden"
Good luck!
