Overthewire Bandit Level 19 To 20

Level goal

To gain access to the next level, you should use the setuid binary in the homedirectory. Execute it without arguments to find out how to use it. The password for this level can be found in the usual place (/etc/bandit\_pass), after you have used the setuid binary.

Lets follow some instructions

bandit19@bandit:~$ ls
bandit20-do
bandit19@bandit:~$ ./bandit20-do
Run a command as another user.
  Example: ./bandit20-do id

Lets check something and then run the command

bandit19@bandit:~$ id
uid=11019(bandit19) gid=11019(bandit19) groups=11019(bandit19)
bandit19@bandit:~$ ./bandit20-do id
uid=11019(bandit19) gid=11019(bandit19) euid=11020(bandit20) groups=11019(bandit19)
# That's interesting.

Okay, it says the password location in the level info..

bandit19@bandit:~$ ./bandit20-do ls /etc/bandit_pass/bandit20
/etc/bandit_pass/bandit20
bandit19@bandit:~$ ./bandit20-do cat /etc/bandit_pass/bandit20

VICTORY.
