The next challenge involves translating the text in data.txt from its rot13 encrypted state. Rot13 simply involves rotating characters 13 letters from the original value. The hint helpfully reccommends the tr command, which translates characters between two sets. Using the command below, we can “decrypt” the text.

bandit11@bandit:~$ cat data.txt | tr "[a-zA-Z]" "[n-za-mN-ZA-M]"
The password is XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (actual password is not shown)
bandit11@bandit:~$
