Description

A git repository is hosted at ssh://bandit27-git@localhost/home/bandit27-git/repo. The password is in a file in the repository. The goal is to clone it and read the file.

Overview

• git clone copies a remote repository to a local directory.
• The password to the repo’s git user is the same as the bandit27 SSH password.
• Cloning into /tmp avoids home directory permission issues.

Solution

cd /tmp/work
git clone ssh://bandit27-git@localhost:2220/home/bandit27-git/repo
cat repo/README
