☑️Final Assessment

I found the final assessment on this a bit more complicated than I expected. I had to look for walkthroughs and this one helped me a lot. Things that I learned from this assessment:

  • If we can run sudo -l and find a binary we can run as sudo, we should search about it in GTFObins to see if and how we can use it to escalate privileges.

  • Always start by looking at history files, hidden files.

    • find / -type f -name *_history -exec ls -l {} \; 2>/dev/null
      find / -type f -name ".*" -exec ls -l {} \; 2>/dev/null | grep username
  • And of course, check the users group with id as early as possible.
