Underpass HTB Machine
This project aimed to exploit the UnderPass machine in HTB to obtain both user and root flags. The team began with Nmap and snmpwalk for enumeration, uncovering a daloradius server. After logging into the RADIUS management application, the team cracked MD5-encrypted passwords to gain SSH access and capture the user flag.
For privilege escalation, the team discovered the ability to run /usr/bin/mosh-server without a password via sudo. By exploiting this, they gained root access and obtained the root flag.
The goal was to demonstrate web application exploitation, password cracking, and privilege escalation.
