Bandit Levels 0–4: Breaking In With Nothing But Windows 11 and Regret (OTW Bandit walkthrough)

Windows 11 has OpenSSH now. So obviously, I used it to break into a Linux server.

OverTheWire’s Bandit is a classic wargame that teaches you how to navigate Linux, break stuff, fix stuff, and read files that really don’t want to be read.
So I booted up a fresh Windows machine, didn’t install anything, and just started breaking in—armed with nothing but PowerShell, sarcasm, and the cat command.

💥 What even is cat and why does it break when you name a file -?
💥 Why does Linux hide things with a dot like it's ashamed?
💥 And why are there so many files that aren't real files?

This episode covers Bandit Levels 0 through 4. It only gets worse from here.
