Bandit Level 15

  • The goal here is to submit the current level’s password to port 30001 on localhost, but this time the connection must be made using SSL/TLS encryption (nc won’t work).

  • For SSL connections we use openssl s_client, which is the standard tool for connecting to SSL/TLS-enabled services from the command line.

    • The -connect flag specifies the host and port in host:port format.
    • The -ign_eof flag tells openssl not to close the connection when it hits EOF, giving us time to type/paste the password.

  • Connected to the local service on port 30001 via SSL.

  • Pasted the current level’s password. The service responded with Correct! and returned the next password.
