Hack the Gibson VM (CTF Challenge)

It’s a boot2root challenge and it does not get over with getting root access. You have to find flag also. So let’s start. First of all download lab from https://download.vulnhub.com/gibson/gibson.ova Now open kali terminal and like always start with first step i.e. netdiscover netdiscover it shows all the hosts those are up in our network and from here we get our target ip. Target IP: 192.168.1.6 As our target is all set we are going to scan it with nmap which will show all the open ports. In this case open ports are only two i.e. 22 and 80. nmap –p- -A 192.168.1.6 As from the above result we have got 80 port open so we will open target ip in browser. It shows an accessible directory. Let’s try opening it as we cannot see anything important here. Oh no such luck with this also. It’s written the result will be found by brute force but there is no place where we can apply brute force. As we do not have any other option so let’s just go to view page source to see if we could get a...
