I had to redirect the output of that script to a file I can manipulate later. I think I will have to sort the file and then run uniq on it as it will be 10000 lines (did I miss a zero?) minus one of:

I am the pincode checker for user bandit25. Please enter the password for user bandit24 and the secret pincode on a single line, separated by a space.

Wrong! Please enter the correct pincode. Try again.

Exiting.

Or else, the 'Wrong....'  says 'Right....' on one line (or something like that) and I just need to search for an affirmation word

the man pages never would have taught me that! I really need to learn to program before I start the other wargames. that is just bash scripting?

Your program is the wrong way to do this.  For 1 mil + guesses, C is the right way to go, but for 10k you can just use a shell script:

for i in `seq 1111 9999` ; do echo "password $i" |  netcat server.com 30002 ; done

Why do I feel like I'm helping you cheat?

The instructions they give are:

A daemon is listening on port 30002 and will give you the password for bandit25 if given the password for bandit24 and a secret numeric 4-digit pincode. There is no way to retrieve the pincode except by going through all of the 10000 combinaties, called brute-forcing.

I figure I'd netcat to the port a file with the bandit24's password and the pincodes and .... I still have to investigate man  more

Mike,

I don't think the program you found prints anything. What were the actual instructions from Bandit?

Can't help, but what a coincidence, I just started bandit last night!

I need to get every four digit combination as part of the next challenge in bandit. I'm not a programmer so I googled for a solution. Please, how do I run this program?

int main(int argc, char** argv){
int a,b,c,d;

for(a=1; a<5; a++){
for(b=1; b<5; b++){
for(c=1; c<5; c++){
for(d=1; d<5; d++){
if(!(a==b || a==c || a==d || b==c || b==d || c==d))
printf("%d%d%d%d
",a,b,c,d);
}
}
}
}

return 0;
}
