Lessons Learned

Lessons Learned

  • Finger is outdated and allows us to enumerate usernames without lockout mechanism.

  • Weak passwords can be cracked, users should have more secure passwords and the administrator should implement a passowrd policy

  • SSH can be brute forced

  • Don't let wget run as root and be careful on what you actually let users run as root.

  • I also learned that slick wget [server] -O [place to write to] trick with wget. Can be useful down the road.

  • You can chain your privelege escalation. If a command can run as root, you can overwrite it with wget -O or read contents with wget -I
