Level 7

Perm check 👀

OverTheWire: Level Goaloverthewire.org

This is the excerpt from the challenge

The password for the next level is stored somewhere on the server and has all of the following properties:

owned by user bandit7
owned by group bandit6
33 bytes in size

Seems like the find command from the last challenge can help us here as well!

Here is the command I crafted:

find / -type f -user bandit7 -group bandit6 -size 33c 2>/dev/null
# Command breakdown:
# -type f -> type of object is a file
# -user bandit7 -> object is owned by bandit7
# -group bandit6 -> object is owned by bandit6
# -size 33c -> object is 33 bytes in size
# 2>/dev/null -> 

This gives us a path that we can check with ls -l to verify the requirements are met and cat to print the password!

The output of the command crafted.
