HackTheBox - Curling - Retired - Update Recon I've been using threader3000 for my recon scans lately. It does a super quick threaded up/down scan on all TCP ports. It then recommends a nmap scan based on only the open ports discovered during the initial scan, it saves all the nmap scan output to XML that I then convert to HTML to make it pretty. Looks like we just have two ports open 22 and 80 Port 22 is Open SSH 7.6p1 Port 80 is Apache 2.4.29 And nmap thinks it's an ubuntu box. That version of SSH is not terrible old so we can assume this will not be a path for a foothold. Let's check out port 80 and see what we can find there. We see a page with a login form. Do you see the first clue for the box here?  Cewl…. That is a program we can use to scrape words of the page. So it might come in handy for finding a username or password for the login.

Let's see what we is being shown to us when we browse to the site. Phpbash? A quick google search lands us on this github https://github.com/Arrexel/phpbash It's a php webshell, and the author says "I actually developed it on this exact server" And it looks like the author of the github is also the person who made this box. Arrexel I think that means there is a webshell somewhere on this server if we can find it. I tried the name listed in the github to see if I could get to the webshell Bot
