OverTheWire Bandit Level 33 → 34 tutorial!!
Published on 07 Feb 2023
Login
Log in as bandit33 using the password you obtained from Level 32 → 33.
ssh bandit33@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220
# password: tQdtbs5D5i2vJwkO8mEyYEyTL8izoeJ0
Why? Each Bandit level is a separate UNIX user. To “solve” 33 → 34 you just need to log in as
bandit33
.
Task
There is actually no Level 34. This is the final level of Bandit. Read the message left for you in the home directory.
A little bit of Theory
- Some CTF tracks end with a final note instead of another puzzle.
- On Bandit, the last user’s home folder contains a README telling you you’ve reached the end and pointing to other wargames.
Further reading:
- Natas (web security)
- Krypton (cryptography)
- Narnia (binary exploitation)
- Leviathan (basic Linux privesc)
Solution
-
List the home directory
ls -la
Why? To see what files are present (there should be a
README
). -
Read the final note
cat README
Why? This prints the congratulations/farewell message and links you to other wargames.
Password
There is no password for a next level; Bandit ends here. 🎉
Troubleshooting
Permission denied
on login → Double-check you’re using the bandit33 password from Level 32 → 33.- No README? → Make sure you are in
/home/bandit33
(pwd
) after logging in.
Congrats 🎉 You finished all Bandit levels! If you enjoyed this series, keep the momentum going with the games above.
Thanks for reading!
Until next time — Otsumachi!! 💖☄️✨
