TryHackMe – VulnNet Roasted

TryHackMe
Greetings, everyone! In today's post, we'll be checking out the room VulnNet Roasted in the TryHackMe platform. So without further ado, let's jump right in! We'll start off with our trusty Nmap scan. We'll use the following flags: -A for scripting-p- for scanning all ports-T4 to speed up the scan-Pn to disable ping Nmap scan of 10.10.81.207 Looks like this system is a Domain Controller! Looking at the open ports, immediately we notice that port 445 is listed, which is SMB. We'll begin here with our enumeration. We'll use a tool called SMBClient to see what shares are listed: smbclient to list out shares Now that we know the shares, our next step is to see if we can connect to any of them without any credentials. The last two…

TryHackMe – ColddBox

Hacking, privilege escalation, shell, TryHackMe
Greetings everyone! We're back with another box; this one is called ColddBox that is on the TryHackMe platform! So let's jump right into it! We'll start off with an Nmap scan to see what ports we have open and what services are running on them. To do this, we'll use this command: nmap -A -p- -T4 10.10.150.55 Port 80 is open so let's begin by browsing to the website: We know from the data returned in our nmap scan that this is a WordPress site. Let's do some directory busting using a tool called gobuster: Hmm looks like there is a rather interesting directory called "hidden". Let's check it out! We are greeted with a message! Apparently someone named C0ldd is being asked to send Hugo his new password. Looking…

TryHackMe – Pokemon

http, pokemon, privilege escalation, ssh, TryHackMe
Greetings everyone! In today's post, we'll be attacking another machine on the great platform TryHackMe. This machine is, you guessed it, Pokemon-themed! The description for this room mentions that there are actually four flags to find! Three of them are based off of Pokemon types (Grass, Water, Fire), and then there is a root flag to find. Well, it actually says 'What is Root's favorite Pokemon?". I'm going to treat that as the root flag as I'm assuming that we'll need root-level access to find that out! Let's jump in to find out! As always, we'll begin with our trusted Nmap scan! Only two ports open, but one of them is port 80. Let's start enumerating that web server! The landing page is the default Apache2 page: While poking around…

TryHackMe – Bounty Hacker

ftp, privilege escalation, ssh, TryHackMe
Greetings everyone! I have a pretty quick walkthrough today for you! Once again, we'll be using the fantastic platform TryHackMe. The box we'll be tackling is called Bounty Hacker! With our Kali box fired up, we'll start off with our trusted Nmap scan! We can see that we get a few hits back; the main one being FTP! Nmap shows that the box allows for anonymous login, so let's connect that way and grab any files that we can! We can see that two files are listed: locks.txt and task.txt. Time to download them and see what goodies are inside! We'll first cat out the task.txt file: Looks like this task file was created by someone named "lin". This is great because we have a possible username that we may…

TryHackMe – Agent Sudo

ftp, privilege escalation, ssh, Steganography, TryHackMe
Greetings everyone! I'm back with another machine walkthrough from the hacking platform TryHackMe! This machine is called Agent Sudo! So without any further ado, let's jump into it! We'll start off with our trusty Nmap scan: Alright, well right off the bat we can see that port 80 is open, and that means there is a website to check out! Great, let's browse to it! Hmm! Now there wasn't much, actually nothing, returned from any type of enumeration or vulnerability scanning on this website! That being the case, I went back and re-read the message that was displayed. At the moment, we have no sweet clue what our "codename" is. But what we can do is use cURL to spoof our user-agent. Putting out detective hat on, we notice that…

TryHackMe – Alfred

meterpreter, msfvenom, Powershell, privilege escalation, Tokens, TryHackMe
Greetings everyone!In today's post, we're going to try something a little different! I've recently signed up for a new hacking training platform called TryHackMe. I've read a few posts regarding TryHackMe, and the reviews have been nothing but outstanding, so I figured let's give it a shot! In today's post, I'll be attacking the box called Alfred. So let's get to it! Alfred has an IP of 10.10.33.30. Knowing that, let's start off with an Nmap scan! Only 3 open ports are returned so we don't have a lot to work with. Let's start by browsing to port 80: RIP Bruce Wayne?? Well that's not a message I wanted to see. Did Bane (the best super-villain) finally end Batman, once and for all? Anyways, back to the mission at hand!…
