I scan ports with nmap.

I look the website that is made by CuteNews and I find a exploit to get shell.

After download the exploit. I run the exploit and I get the shell but reverse shell is more confortable so I get the reverse shell.

I find a some information that is encoded with base64 under the users directory. And I open with the cat command.

cat *.php

I decode the encoded string and crack the hash.

I change to paul user.

I search vulnerabilities. Although It takes a lot but I don’t find any information about vulnerability so I look the authorized_key about paul and key is the same nadav. I change Nadav via ssh.

After the ssh login with paul. I run the linpeas and linpeas find a usbcreator vulnerability. When I abuse the vulnerability, It was not working I try in the nadav user.
