The password for the next level is stored in the file data.txt and is the only line of text that occurs only once.

bandit8@bandit:~$ wc data.txt
 1001  1001 33033 data.txt

This file has one thousand lines. Too much to do it by hand. I'm not quite sure, but I check the man page of uniq, and it turns out it has an option to do just this.

bandit8@bandit:~$ sort data.txt | uniq -u
