Level 13 → Level 14

After logging in with

ssh bandit13@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220

Password: FO5dwFsc0cbaIiH0h8J2eUks2vdTDwAn

we can see the sshkey.private private ssh key by running ls` on the home directory. According to the game, we have to access the next level Level 14 → Level 15 by logging in via ssh key to the bandit14 user on the localhost machine. Since we already have the private key, the syntax for our login will be:

ssh -p 2220 -i sshkey.private bandit14@localhost

Then we just need to follow the instruction given by the game adn read the content of /etc/bandit_pass/bandit14:

cat /etc/bandit_pass/bandit14

This will give us the password for the next level:
