First box I’ve done in a while, nice and easy to get me back in the swing of things.
Don’t rely too much on fancy tools - you don’t need them here. Go back to some basics with this one about vulnerable web apps and exposed services. The box gives you all you need without having to do any fancy exploits.
Once I was on the box, a few minutes of poking around in the obvious places gives you everything you need for root, though I had to spend time troubleshooting it because I missed one very obvious thing when I got ahead of myself.
Took me about an hour start to finish. Nice little warm-up/beginner box, and would like to see this in the Starting Point boxes when it’s retired.
