Inferno

Real Life machine + CTF. The machine is designed to be real-life (maybe not?) and is perfect for newbies starting out in penetration testing

Task 1: Inferno

"Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself within a forest dark, For the straightforward pathway had been lost. Ah me! how hard a thing it is to say What was this forest savage, rough, and stern, Which in the very thought renews the fear."

There are 2 hash keys located on the machine (user - local.txt and root - proof.txt), can you find them and become root?

Remember: in the nine circles of Hell you will find some demons that will try to prevent your access, ignore them and move on. (if you can)

Answer the questions below

  1. Locate and find local.txt
  2. Locate and find proof.txt
