Walkthrough of the machine called “Nukem” in the OffSec Proving Grounds…This is a Linux machine rated as intermediate, don’t watch this unless you want help getting through the machine. Nukem is a blast from the past if you remember the old Id/Capcom software days…brought back some memories. In this machine we exploit a vulnerable WordPress plugin to get a shell, find dosbox with the SUID set, forward local VNC traffic using SSH so we can connect to the GUI desktop via VNC to exploit the sudoers file via dosbox and get the root flag.
