Level 9 -> 10

Game Instructions

The password for the next level is stored in the file data.txt in one of the few human-readable strings, preceded by several ‘=’ characters.

Let’s ssh into the server

ssh -p 2220 bandit9@bandit.labs.overthewire.org
password: UsvVyFSfZZWbi6wgC7dAFyFuR6jQQUhR

This one was more of an art than anything. I simply cat the contents of the data.txt file and searched for multiple = signs in a row.

Found it. truKLdjsbJ5g7yyJ2X2R0o3a5HQJFuLk
