Jax sucks alot.............

In JavaScript everything is a terrible mistake.

Task 1: Introduction




We are Horror LLC, we specialize in horror, but one of the scarier aspects of our company is our front-end webserver. We can't launch our site in its current state and our level of concern regarding our cybersecurity is growing exponentially. We ask that you perform a thorough penetration test and try to compromise the root account. There are no rules for this engagement. Good luck!

Thanks to @Luma for testing the room.

Note: This box was part of a competition in which 12 one-month subscription vouchers (kindly donated by @RobertArthurBT) were given away. The winners have been chosen at random from the list of users without a subscription who completed this room before 9PM BST on the 11th of October, 2021.

The competition is now over. The results have been announced in the TryHackMe Discord Server.
