Starting My OverTheWire Journey

I’ve started working through the OverTheWire wargames.

They’re a set of CTF-style challenges focused on Linux, networking, and basic hacking concepts. I’ll be going through them one by one and writing short notes as I go.

The goal is to learn by doing — improve my command line skills, understand system behavior better, and build a stronger foundation in cybersecurity.

Each post will follow the same structure:

  • Login Info: SSH details and setup
  • Task: What the level asks
  • Theory: Concepts or tools involved
  • Solution: Step-by-step how I solved it

I’m starting with the first game, Bandit. It’s beginner-friendly and builds up from simple file handling to more advanced concepts.

First post: Bandit Level 0 → Level 1 — coming next.
