Connect to a remote server with a specific identity (private key):

ssh -i path/to/key_file username@remote_host

# Create a file named sshkey.private and paste the above private key into it
> vim sshkey.private

> ssh bandit14@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220 -i sshkey.private

get tips from level 13, the password for the next level is stored in /etc/bandit_pass/bandit14 and can only be read by user bandit14

bandit14@bandit:~$ cat /etc/bandit_pass/bandit14

this password is not the password for next level, it is the password port 30000

[credential redacted]

Connect to a target listener on the specified port:

nc host port

bandit14@bandit:~$ nc localhost 30000
#copy the password from above and paste it here
Correct!
#password to next level

cat /etc/bandit_pass/bandit14 | nc localhost 30000

level 15 → level 16

bandit15@bandit:~$ openssl s_client localhost:30001
# some info ... or use -quiet to suppress the output
# openssl s_client -connect localhost:30001 -quiet
<credential-redacted>
Correct!
#password to next level

[credential redacted]

another way to get the password is to use the command below

ncat --ssl localhost 30001
socat - OPENSSL:localhost:30001,verify=0
# use verify=0 to disable certificate verification

Congratulations on solving the last level of this game!

At this moment, there are no more levels to play in this game. However, we are constantly working
on new levels and will most likely expand this game with more levels soon.
Keep an eye out for an announcement on our usual communication channels!
In the meantime, you could play some of our other wargames.

If you have an idea for an awesome new level, please let us know!
