Offsec Proving Grounds Walkthrough – Exghost

New OffSec Proving Grounds walkthrough. This time we tackle a machine called Exghost. This walkthrough involves:

☑️Brute forcing credentials
☑️Reading through a Wireshark packet capture file
☑️Crafting a malicious image to exploit ExifTool
☑️Exploiting a kernel vulnerability

I had to get creative at the end and I leaned a bunch of stuff going through this machine. ***Spoiler***Walkthrough of the machine called “Exghost” in the OffSec Proving Grounds…don’t watch the video if you don’t want help with the machine!

Lot’s of manual exploits and adjusting to them not working as expected. Don’t overthink initial foothold!
