Bandit 23 Objectives Level GoalA program is running automatically at regular intervals from  cron , the time-based job scheduler. Look in  /etc/cron.d/  for the configuration and see what command is being executed. NOTE:  Looking at shell scripts written by other people is a very useful skill.

Solution ok so another level dealing with cron jobs lets see what files we have to work with ​bandit22@bandit:~$ ls Nothing in home directory let's check the cron.d bandit22@bandit:~$ ls /etc/cron.d cronjob_bandit22  cronjob_bandit23  cronjob_bandit24 cool so there is another cronjob_bandit23 let's check that file bandit22@bandit:~$ cat /etc/cron.d/cronjob_bandit23 @reboot bandit23 /usr/bin/cronjob_bandit23.sh  &> /dev/null * * * * * bandit23 /usr/bin/cronjob_bandit23.sh  &> /dev/
