In this level we are asked to clone a git repo with git clone ssh://bandit31-git@localhost:2220/home/bandit31-git/repo to find the password.
Looking at the README file we are given the following hint:
First, we create the file requested, key.txt, with the contents May I come in?. We now need to commit this file and push it. To commit a file, first we need to tell git that it exists.
git add key.txt
This command returns an error, stating that the file key.txt is set to be ignored:
We can override the ignore files with the flag -f. We now need to commit this file. This is done with the command git commit.
git commit -m <update_message>
We can supply any commit message as the task only checks the file. We now need to push the commit to the remote repo. This is done with the command git push. This command generates a reply from the server:
This response contains the password: rmCBvG56y58BXzv98yZGdO7ATVL5dW8y
