OverTheWire - Bandit - Level 15 to Level 16

Description:

Level Goal
The password for the next level can be retrieved by submitting the password of the current level to port 30001 on localhost using SSL encryption.

Helpful note: Getting "HEARTBEATING" and "Read R BLOCK"? Use -quiet and read the "CONNECTED COMMANDS" section in the manpage. Next to 'R' and 'Q', the 'B' command also works in this version of that command...
Commands you may need to solve this level
ssh, telnet, nc, openssl, s_client, nmap
Helpful Reading Material
Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security on Wikipedia
Testing SSL with commandline tools
Solution:
  1. [Comment] Using SSH to connect the server
  2. sp@simple-plan:~|=> ssh bandit15@bandit.labs.overthewire.org
    ...
    bandit15@bandit.labs.overthewire.org's password: BfMYroe26WYalil77FoDi9qh59eK5xNr
  3. [Comment] Using openssl with s_client option to establish the encrypted communication
  4. bandit15@melinda:~$ echo BfMYroe26WYalil77FoDi9qh59eK5xNr | openssl s_client -quiet -connect localhost:30001
    depth=0 CN = localhost
    verify error:num=18:self signed certificate
    verify return:1
    depth=0 CN = localhost
    verify return:1
    Correct!
