Part of the Huntress CTF 2024
Gosh darnit, I keep entering a typo in my Linux command prompt!
Let's click the Start and get started.
A SSH connection and it provides us with an initial username user and password userpass. Let's get connected.
Uh, train anybody? So, this train is the byproduct of a command in linux (if installed) called sl. Haven't seen it in a while but, choo choo, here it is. Once it gets done with it's animation, it closed the SSH connection, swell.
Let's connect again, but let's put bash at the end of the command (like below), so we have a shell we can poke around with.
This will give us a shell, but it's not like a normal shell, it's just blank space. For example, let's figure out where we are by running the pwd command:
I entered in pwd and hit enter, and it responded on the next line with /home/user. So we are in that directory currently. Let's run an ls -la command to see what files are local to this folder.
Looks like there is the flag.txt file in the same folder. Let's cat that flag.txt file and see the output.
And there is the flag. Awesome.
