Summary:​

We test connectivity, scan, and enumerate the target website. We discover a PHP type juggling vulnerability and exploit it to gain access to the admin file uploads directory. Using this access, we upload a web shell via the upload functionality. Enumerating the system with our new tool, we find clear text credentials that grant us user-level SSH access. We then escalate to root by exploiting sudo using find. Finally, we grab the root flag.

Summary:​

This article guides users through completing the Archetype machine challenge on Hack The Box. We exploit vulnerabilities on a Microsoft SQL Server by enumerating SMB shares, finding clear text credentials, and using Impacket to authenticate and gain an authorized connection. We then escalate privileges and download Netcat to establish a reverse shell, grab the user flag, and eventually use Impacket's psexec tool to gain admin access and retrieve the root flag before terminating the connection.
