Introduction

This utility saves manual typing and copy-pasting by:

1. Managing level passwords automatically
2. Generating ssh commands

Usage

Warning: otw will store passwords within the current working directory. Make sure you always run it in the same directory, or else unexpected results will ensue!

Running otw assumes that <game> exists within the current directory. You can create it by running mkdir <game>, e.g. mkdir bandit.

$ ./otw <game> <level>
# e.g.: ./otw bandit 3

Don't worry about deleting the trailing / if you use autocomplete! otw is smart and will figure out what you mean. Thus, the following line is equivalent:

$ ./otw <game>/ <level>

You can also omit <level>, which tells otw to use the highest level you reached (or level 0 if no level passwords are found).

$ ./otw bandit

To see more options, run ./otw --help.
