Hello everyone!
I’m new to HTB, and I’m currently facing an issue with the module called “Login Brute-Forcing,” specifically in the section on Basic HTTP Authentication.
I successfully used Hydra to brute-force the target and obtained the username “basic-auth-user” along with the easy password. However, they ask the following question:
“After successfully brute-forcing and then logging into the target, what is the full flag you find?”
With the credentials I gathered, I understand that I need to log into the target to retrieve the flag. I tried using the following SSH command:
“ssh basic-auth-user@94.237.51.124”
But I’m getting the error message:
basic-auth-user@94.237.51.124: Permission denied (publickey).
Am I doing something wrong? Could there be another way to connect to the target other than SSH?
Thanks for your help!
