Bandit Walkthrough – Level 10
Level Description
http://www.overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/bandit11.shtml
The purpose of this level is to teach you how decode and read base64 files. The password for bandit11 is in the file data.txt which is base64 encoded.
Hint
This is a relatively straight forward level – you simply need to find the command to decode base64.

|---|---|
when I run: $ base64 -d data.txt
I get: base64: invalid input
very confused now..
Hmm… not sure why that would be. I just went back and tried it myself and got the expected result. I’d suggest you double check that you logged in as bandit10 – if you logged in to a different “level” it may not work correctly.
