Just a word on level2, I don't think that's a hint, if you think so I'll remove this comment asap.

The login to get on the page is: level02 and the password is what you've found in level01. I.e. The challenge is not to crack that "Authorization required" dialog.

The welcome message says:

> This one is a web-based vulnerability, so go ahead and point your browser to XXXXX. You'll need to provide the password for level02 using HTTP digest authentication.

so no, it's not the challenge. :)

Yeah.. but I somewhat didn't realized it was the same l/p of the ssh and was trying to crack it ;) Or, more particularly, find a way around that protection to access the challenge behind it.

I think the machine was actually hosed due to fork bomb. (I kept bumping the rlimits as more people logged in and ran up against nprocs, but the last time I clearly just bumped nprocs way too high. Live and learn....) You certainly should be able to solve all of the levels without tons of brute force though.

Oops, thought that no one had commented when I deleted. Sorry.
