Hack The Box is an online platform allowing you to test your penetration testing skills and exchange ideas and methodologies with thousands of people. It is an online platform to test and advance your skills in penetration testing and cyber security, and it contains several challenges that are constantly updated. To start challenges on HTB, you will need to find an invite code by 'hacking' your way in.

In this video we will be penetration testing Hack The Box Zipper. The goal of this pentest is to achieve unrestricted root execution by finding and exploiting security vulnerabilities. We complete this video on a kali linux machine and use several tools such as putty, nmap, or ncat to find and use exploits. This video has 11 steps and is a slightly more advanced pentest tutorial than previous yPuffy or SolidState walkthroughs:

We start by scanning the ports with Nmap. When we do not find much, we run a brute force scan against the apache directories with dirsearch and a dirbuster word list. We find a Zabbix installation with our dirsearch and use this to find a user named zapper. We guess zapper's password which is also conveniently his name and log into Zabbix-CLI tools with to explore remote system as Super Admin. Once we are inside, we add zapper user to Zabbix administrators group and give access to front end, which allows us entry into the Zabbix GUI. From the GUI, we create a reverse shell script with perl, use that reverse shell to explore zapper's home directory for his RSA key, and copy that RSA key to open a new shell under user Zapper. We then run ltrace on zabbix service to find calls to systemctl and run a path interception attack by replacing the zapper service start routine with a root shell.
