Overthewire Bandit Level 13 To 14

Level goal

The password for the next level is stored in **/etc/bandit\_pass/bandit14 and can only be read by user bandit14**. For this level, you don’t get the next password, but you get a private SSH key that can be used to log into the next level. **Note:** **localhost** is a hostname that refers to the machine you are working on

## Commands you may need to solve this level

ssh, telnet, nc, openssl, s\_client, nmap

Lets take a look and cat the file

bandit13@bandit:~$ ls
sshkey.private
bandit13@bandit:~$ cat sshkey.private
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
