This repository documents my progress through OverTheWire Bandit, a Linux command-line wargame focused on practical Linux fundamentals, SSH usage, file navigation, permissions, searching, encoding, archives, and command-line problem solving.
The purpose of this repository is to demonstrate hands-on Linux practice, technical documentation, and troubleshooting-style thinking for entry-level IT support and technical support roles.
- Linux command-line navigation
- SSH access
- File and directory management
- Hidden files and special filenames
- File permissions
- Searching with
findandgrep - Sorting and filtering command output
- Encoding and decoding
- Archive extraction
- Basic scripting and command-line problem solving
- Clear technical documentation
- Windows Subsystem for Linux
- Ubuntu
- Bash
- SSH
- Git and GitHub
| Level Range | Topics Practiced |
|---|---|
| Level 0-5 | SSH, file reading, special filenames, hidden files, file types, find |
| Level 6-10 | File searching, ownership, grep, sort, uniq, strings, Base64 |
| Level 11-15 | ROT13, hex dumps, compression, archives, SSH private key usage |
Passwords and sensitive challenge solutions are not included in this repository. The write-ups focus on the commands used, the reasoning process, and the Linux concepts practiced.
These labs support entry-level IT support, help desk, service desk, technical support, Linux support, and cloud support-adjacent roles by showing practical command-line troubleshooting and documentation skills.
