Hacking Applied: Another CTF

The Red Team Series continued by Hoodie X

Hey there, Hoodies!

I hope this post finds you well. In my last few articles, I explained hash cracking and hydra. So, it’s time for a Hacking Applied article. In this article, we are going to look at a vulnerable machine from tryhackme. We will break into the machine by using all the methods we have learned so far. Let’s do it:

Preparation

Get the machine here. It’s free so all you need is to create an account to tryhackme. And connect to the VPN. You are all set.

Starting with the nmap. Execute this command 'sudo nmap -A -v <MACHINE_IP>'.

Command Breakthrough

• sudo = Allow you temporary root permission

• (-A) = An alias of traceroute, os detection, version detection

• (-vv) = Sets the nmap output verbosity to level 2

• (-oN) = Save the output to the specified file
