Level 5

Connect to server with username bandit5 and the password.

The password for the next level is stored in a file somewhere under the inhere directory and has all of the following properties: human-readable, 1033 bytes in size, not executable.

I simply use ls and grep to find the file with the right size.

bandit5@bandit:~$ ls inhere
maybehere00  maybehere03  maybehere06  maybehere09  maybehere12  maybehere15  maybehere18
maybehere01  maybehere04  maybehere07  maybehere10  maybehere13  maybehere16  maybehere19
maybehere02  maybehere05  maybehere08  maybehere11  maybehere14  maybehere17
bandit5@bandit:~$ ls inhere/*
inhere/maybehere01:
-file1  -file2  -file3  spaces file1  spaces file2  spaces file3

inhere/maybehere02:
-file1  -file2  -file3  spaces file1  spaces file2  spaces file3

...
bandit5@bandit:~$ ls -la inhere/* | grep -B 6 1033
