Has anyone played Bandit (overthewire.org)?

[Michael Havens]

Thanks Mark. I got to level 13 with help from overthewire.org's IRC. I more
wanted to know how to figure it out with the man pages without having been
spoon-fed the commands that will be used. The reason for that is the other
games in the series don't give any hints.
