I faced the same problem.

I was usig ssh bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220 then it was connecting to kali@bandit.labs.overthewire.org. But we are supposed to connect to server with username bandit0.

Now, we have to explicitly write the username in the ssh command. SO, the command is ssh [email protected] -p 2220. Now, look the server you connected is bandit0, not kali. Use password: bandit0.

Congratulations, you just connected to the Server.

The login issue also can occur when you have existing ssh identities(ssh keys in ~/.ssh/), with

ssh [email protected] -p 2220
# or
sshpass -p 'bandit0' ssh [email protected] -p 2220

every single attempt results in the following, without the option to even put password


                         _                     _ _ _
                        | |__   __ _ _ __   __| (_) |_
                        | '_ \ / _` | '_ \ / _` | | __|
                        | |_) | (_| | | | | (_| | | |_
                        |_.__/ \__,_|_| |_|\__,_|_|\__|


                      This is an OverTheWire game server.
            More information on http://www.overthewire.org/wargames

[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey,password).

If you go and remove the last entry in ~/.ssh/known_hosts then you'll be greeted with a yes/no/[fingerprint] option again, but nothing changes

The solution here is to enforce password authorization:

... -o PubkeyAuthentication=no -o PreferredAuthentications=password ...

ssh -p 2220 [email protected]

password: bandit0

Highly Recommend! "This command should work by adding '0' between 'bandit' and '@'."

Can you try logging in using this exact command

ssh -p 2220 [email protected]

Password: bandit0

This should work

if you do not have this problem "Too many authentication failures", use this:

ssh [email protected] -p 2220

if you are a windows user, it is better to use PuTTY than cmd.exe to play this game:

host name: bandit.labs.overthewire.org

port: 2220

open

login as: bandit0

password: bandit0

done

ssh is not telnet with its general syntax of telnet server port. I believe even in Windows the basic usage of ssh is like:

ssh [-p port] [user@]server [command]

You did ssh [email protected] 2220. You connected to the default port (22) and 2220 was the command.

It so happens there is a server on port 22, but this is not the server that accepts the credentials you know.

The command 2220 was never invoked because you failed to authenticate in the first place. Instead of 2220 it could have been anything, it wouldn't be invoked either.

You want to connect like this:

ssh -p 2220 [email protected]
