Hello guys, This my new blog where I'll be posting writeups on HackTheBox machines. This write-up is for the machine Laboratory, which is created by 0xc45. It is rated easy, But I would rate the difficulty at 8/10. This box was very fun and I learned alot, Without further ado, let's begin, Foothold :- Before starting looking around the machine it's always a good habit to add the IP to your host files. As usual, I'll run an nmap scan and see what info we can get on this machine, # Nmap 7.80 scan initiated Thu Nov 19 07:04:38 2020 as: nmap -A -oN nmapscans -vvv -p 22,80,443 10.10.10.216 Nmap scan report for laboratory . htb ( 10.10 . 10.216 ) Host is up, received syn - ack ( 0.27 s latency) .
