  • Use metasploit to gian wp admin access
  • Search for hidden files to find the password for the root user

Enumeration

Run nmap scan to find for open ports.

Run a gobuster scan to find for hidden directories.

Port 80

Unable to load the wordpress site.

Let’s use WPscan to enumerate.

Username: c0rrupt3d_brain, Password: 24992499

Since I cant load the WordPress site I’ll use metasploit to see if I can gain access.

Set up the options.


Foothold

A shell is gained.

Head to the home folder and check the directory. Search for hidden files and there will be the root password.


Privilege escalation

Found the final flag.
