Set up your virtual environment

To successfully complete this room, you'll need to set up your virtual environment. This involves starting both your AttackBox (if you're not using your VPN) and Target Machines, ensuring you're equipped with the necessary tools and access to tackle the challenges ahead.
Attacker machine

Lab machine
Status:Off

A server has been compromised, and the security team has decided to isolate the machine until it's been thoroughly cleaned up. Initial checks by the Incident Response team revealed that there are five different backdoors. It's your job to find and remediate them before giving the signal to bring the server back to production.

First, let's start the Lab Machine by pressing the Start Lab Machine button at the top of this task. You may access the using the AttackBox or your connection.

To start our investigation, we need to connect to the server. The team has provided the credentials for use below and noted that the user has root privileges to the server. I'll help guide you along at first, but as we progress through each step, I'm sure you'll feel more comfortable solving these on your own.
