I’ve been doing the OverTheWire Bandit over the past couple of days and have become stuck on the earlier levels. I deem this very embarrassing as this is supposed to be an “easy” and “recommended for beginners” type of puzzle that requires hands on understanding of the Linux terminal. But I have been using Linux for 9 months now, I wouldn’t do the most complicated things (other than break my whole os) only the things required to make my overall user experience somewhat enjoyable. Now this makes me very sad to come to the conclusions that I may be below the average Linux beginner which I didn’t know was possible according to my knowledge. I am only asking of tips and tricks to these puzzles and maybe to positive reinforcement to make feel better about myself. Now I will not tolerate spoilers as in the official rules of OverTheWire clearly states, and I hope you will follow this rule for the better sake of my learning and understanding of the Linux terminal ( and for the sake of the game itself)
The secret is you have to scroll all the way to the bottom and click the tiny link that says “releases”. Or sometimes click the ellipses (…) at the top of the page and find it there. From there you scroll to the bottom of the latest release and expand the section that says “assets”. Then you typically need to understand package formats and choose the correct one for your device.
Sounds manageable but I will only know the next time I end up on GitHub. Thank you for the help though, it might just be enough to get me through.
