The user successfully accessed sensitive information and obtained flags, demonstrating key hacking techniques. #OpenSSH9.7p1 #Python3 #SQLi
Keypoints
- Initial server reconnaissance was performed using Nmap to identify open ports and services.
- The tester bypassed client-side restrictions to access the admin panel and explored several endpoints.
- Blind XSS and Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerabilities were exploited to gather sensitive credentials.
- Password cracking and remote code execution (RCE) enabled privilege escalation to root.
