Remote is an easy difficulty Windows machine that features an Umbraco CMS installation. Credentials are found in a world-readable NFS share. Using these, an authenticated Umbraco CMS exploit is leveraged to gain a foothold. A vulnerable TeamViewer version is identified, from which we can gain a password. This password has been reused with the local administrator account. Using psexec with these credentials returns a SYSTEM shell. EnumerationFirst I check for available open ports. nmap -p- --mi ...

Access is an easy difficulty machine, that highlights how machines associated with the physical security of an environment may not themselves be secure. Also highlighted is how accessible FTP/file shares can often lead to getting a foothold or lateral movement. It teaches techniques for identifying and exploiting saved credentials. EnumerationFirst I check for available open ports. nmap -p- --min-rate=10000 10.10.10.98 nmap -sC -sV -p21,23,80 10.10.10.98 -oA ./nmap/access Ports Service ...

Bastion is an easy level WIndows box which contains a VHD ( Virtual Hard Disk ) image from which credentials can be extracted.
