Over the Wire - Bandit 8

Bandit 8

Objective
Level GoalThe password for the next level is stored in the file data.txt next to the word millionth


Solution

this one is not to difficult using just bash

I wrote this grep to search for the word 'millionth' in the text file

bandit7@bandit:~$ grep 'millionth' data.txtmillionth cvX2JJa4CFALtqS87jk27qwqGhBM9plV

Bingo
password for the next level is ​cvX2JJa4CFALtqS87jk27qwqGhBM9plV


Now let's figure it out with python



with open("data.txt") as openfile:    for line in openfile:            if "millionth" in line:
                print line
millionth cvX2JJa4CFALtqS87jk27qwqGhBM9plV
