====== Linux command line basics for beginners (no set-up necessary) ======

Guided exploration of the Linux server command line.

| When | **Tue August 20th 2019, 6:30pm** |
| Where | **The Avalon Lounge, Kent Road** |

Informal and relaxed meeting in the quiet lounge of Avalon bar on Kent Road.  You'll need a laptop to take part (but feel free to just observe if you'd prefer).

Aimed at absolute beginners. We'll show how to securely connect to a server then we'll work through Bandit, an adventure game set in the command line that progresses step-by-step from the basics to common programs and beyond.

I'll have my laptop plugged into a screen and we'll work together to introduce to you to each concept. Bring a laptop and play along as I explain how to progress to each level.

See how far you get before you come along and try on the night:

This event is free, but there will be a [completely optional] donation jar to cover the costs of the meetup group.

====== Getting Started ======

If you are on Windows, then download [[https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/|PuTTY]], otherwise you probably already have the tools you'll need built in (ssh).

Game instructions: http://overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/

==== Bandit Level 0 ====

The goal of this level is for you to log into the game using SSH. The host to which you need to connect is **bandit.labs.overthewire.org**, on port **2220**. The username is **bandit0** and the password is **bandit0**. Once logged in, go to the Level 1 page to find out how to beat Level 1.

==== Bandit Level 1 ====

The password for the next level is stored in a file called **''readme''** located in the home directory. Use this password to log into **bandit1.labs.overthewire.org** using SSH. Whenever you find a password for a level, use SSH (on port **2220**) to log into that level and continue the game.

==== Bandit Level 2+ ====
Continue with the instructions online at http://overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/

====== Scratch Area =====
I'll post any passwords/command line hints here as we progress if you are having trouble.

**Level 0**:
<code>
ssh -p 2220 bandit0@bandit.labs.overthewire.org
</code>

There will be some passwords posted on the IRC channel (#opensource on irc.glasgow.social) if you need them.

There is a log of the chat you've missed available here:
