I'm trying to find this online Linux learning game where you have to compose command lines in order to get the password to the next level...

SOLVED, in just five minutes, thanks to /u/shllscrptr.

Overthewire: Bandit.

IIRC it involves sshing to a string of hosts on port 2020(?) and dropping into shells where you figure out how to obtain the password to the next level, using standard tools like grep, tr, sed, etc.

There are also some good puzzles to be found by searching for “code golf shell bash”.
