password: JQttfApK4SeyHwDlI9SXGR50qclOAil1
bandit16@bandit:~$ cd /tmp
bandit16@bandit:/temp$ ssh -i 17key bandit17@localhost -p 2220

Objective:

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

  • diff prints the difference between two files.

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

CLI:

bandit17@bandit:~$ ls
passwords.new passwords.old
bandit17@bandit:~$ diff passwords.old passwords.new
