Overthewire Bandit Level 17 To 18

Level goal

There are 2 files in the homedirectory: **passwords.old and passwords.new**. The password for the next level is in **passwords.new** and is the only line that has been changed between **passwords.old and passwords.new**

**NOTE: if you have solved this level and see ‘Byebye!’ when trying to log into bandit18, this is related to the next level, bandit19**

Lets diff. Didn’t even need to man this.

bandit17@bandit:~$ diff passwords.new passwords.old
42c42
< kfBf3eYk5BPBRzwjqutbbfE887SVc5Yd

> w0Yfolrc5bwjS4qw5mq1nnQi6mF03bii

Lets try to connect!

bandit17@bandit:~$ ssh bandit18@localhost
...snip...
Byebye !
Connection to localhost closed.

VICTORY.
