Bandit Level 2 → Level 3

Goal: Find the password for the next level.

🔍 Objective:

“The Password for the next level is stored in a file called “spaces in this filename” located in the home directory.”

Once again utilizing google, I searched “spaces in filename” and this is what I found:

Stackoverflow

With this information, I tried what google said. Shoutout google and StackOverflow.

bandit2@bandit:~$ ls
spaces in this filename

bandit2@bandit:~$ cat 'spaces in this filename'

Why this works? :

• using ‘’ tells cat to use the entire string as a single argument
• also using \ as spaces also works as a replacement for spaces in a filename
