Level 26

Log in to the server with level26 and the password. Make sure the terminal window is set small enough so that more will run.

With more active, press v to launch Vim. Vim has a built-in shell feature that can be run by typing in :shell, but this doesn't work yet because it is still using the phony shell that the user has set. So I used

:set shell=/bin/bash
:shell

To launch a proper and useful shell.

bandit26@bandit:~$ ls
bandit27-do  text.txt

There is a setuid executable, bandit27-do, that I used to get the password.

bandit26@bandit:~$ ./bandit27-do cat /etc/bandit_pass/bandit27
