When entering http://192.168.212.99:8089 in the web browser we see a web gui with three buttons, but when I visit http://192.168.212.88:33333 nothing seems to load only a message saying Invalid Token

I ran dibuster and nikto on both urls but they showed no interesting output, So next I inspected the code of port 8089

So it shows sending a GET request to a unknown IP on port 33333. So I tried sending a GET request to this port.

It says we cannot send a GET requests, so maybe try and change it too a post requests.

The response shows content length required, so maybe of we sending a empty post request we can get something interesting.

cmd used: curl -d "" -X POST http://192.168.166.99:33333/list-running-procs

And it worked we see a list of running processes, and looks like it contains some credentials. I tossed the password in cyberchef and decoded it to NowiseSloopTheory139

Using these credentials we can ssh to the host. Doing this I was able to grab the user flag and and snoop around the system, I tried some of the basic privilege escalation techniques but all were not successful. But I remember there was a ftp port that I totally forgot was in the nmap scan so I tried logging in as ariah.

There was only a pdf file, so I pulled it into my machine.

And the pdf is password protected so I ran pdfcrack on it and was able to get the password for it.

And the pdf showed some urls, but port 80 never showed in the nmap scan so I think I missed something in machine.

So I ssh back into the host and ran netstat since I sadly didn't think of that in the beginning. And the netstat showed port 80 opened and listening.

So since http://nickel/? looks like it takes some sort of query I passed a whoami command into it to see the output.

And ye it worked, so next best thing is lets just use a url encoded net command to add ariah to the admin group.
