Bandit Level 4 → 5

Login : ssh bandit4@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220
password : 2WmrDFRmJIq3IPxneAaMGhap0pFhF3NJ

task :

The password for the next level is stored in the only human-readable file in the inhere directory.

Theory lil bit:

file <name> shows file type (e.g. ASCII text = human readable).
* is a wildcard for filenames.
Filenames starting with - can be handled by prefixing ./ (e.g. ./-file07).

solution:

bandit4@bandit:~$ ls 
inhere
bandit4@bandit:~$ cd inhere
bandit4@bandit:~/inhere$ ld -la
ld: cannot open output file a.out: Permission denied
bandit4@bandit:~/inhere$ ls -la
