So far in the Bandit wargame, we’ve found files based on their names or by looking in specific places. Level 5 to 6 takes a significant step up in complexity and introduces one of the most powerful file-searching utilities in Linux: the find command.

Instead of a name, we are given a set of properties—metadata—that describe the file containing the password. Our task is to translate these properties into a command that can sift through a maze of directories to find our target.
