Introduction
In Level 11 of the Bandit wargame, we're faced with a cryptographic challenge that requires some clever manipulation. Let's jump right into the steps to crack it.
Steps.
-
Access the Remote Server: Open your terminal and connect to the remote server using this command:
ssh bandit10@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220
Input the password from the previous level:

. -
Decrypt with
tr
: Once connected, run this command to decrypt the data:
cat data.txt | tr 'A-Za-z' 'N-ZA-Mn-za-m'
The
tr
command shifts each letter by 13 positions, revealing the concealed message.
The output of the command contains the password for the next level:
