I got found the hidden port and gained access to the resource and found an exploit for it. My issue is that i cant get it to fire and keep getting 404 errors. Any hints on what i could be doing wrong? You can DM me if you need to so we dont spoil to much on here.

I got This site can’t be reached :frowning:

Even Ping is not working?

For those who’s struggling to get a reverse shell…
sometimes, you don’t need a reverse shell… just ssh into the box… :slightly_smiling_face:

Is it as easy to exploit as show in some PoCs ?

The exploit is already in the tmp directory. Can just edit the file and run the exploit.sh. Hope that helps.

Got a shell on the box… BB Cif payload worked… is the DB file hash a rabbit hole? SSH bruteforce? jw if im on the right track before I dive in.

No brute-forcing is required whatsoever…
There is an internal local port that you have to forward to access another platform and then use the other hints to find the root flag.

Its not required to forward. Run exploit in tmp on user enough

Can someone help me please. whenever I try to run the Exploit I get an Internal Server Error. I am so stressed lol

Summary

Here some tips:
Revershell: If you´re trying to get a revshell, there’s a PoC.
User: Carefully review each directory presented to you
Root: Well, in this case chisel and nmap are good tools

Can’t seem to exploit aiohttp trying several path transversal PoCs nothing’s working. Any hints?


Edit:
I’m an idiot…

Hint:

Double check ports & path on PoCs
