IslandDog Thoughts:
My blog which covers new technology, my life, HTB guides and more!
HTB – Pandora
Pandora from HTB features Port 161 running UDP which shows a password. Next you use CVE-2021-32099, a php web-shell and pandora_backup for root.
HTB – Search
Search from HTB features a website with credential leakage via a image and a domain controller you exploit to escalate. Finally we use GenericAll for root.

Devzat from HTB features a sub-domain with command injection. On the box you find an exploitable InfluxDB running and a dev chat with a file command for root.
HTB – Backdoor
Backdoor from HTB features a WordPress environment with an LFI. We use the LFI to find gdbserver which we exploit. Finally we use screen, which runs as root.
HTB – Shibboleth
Shibboleth from HTB features an exploitable IPMI open on UDP and Zabbix actions for a reverse shell. Once on the box we exploit a vulnerable MariaDB for root.
HTB – Bolt
Bolt from HTB features a website information leakage, subdomains and an SSTI. Once on the box we decrypt a PGP key and encrypted mail for root.
HTB – Horizontall
Horizontall features a hidden vhost with an exploitable strapi. Once on the box we exploit a vulnerable laravel using an SSH port forward.
HTB – Forge
Forge by NoobHacker9999 features a directory traversal/LFI exploitable website and hidden vhost. Once on the box you use python debugger on a script for root.
